The system may sense this from the courtesy light switches (easy) or switches inside the door locking/latch gubbins (tricky). It may also be unlocking itself if one of the central locking motors is tired or the locking mechanism in one of the doors is a bit stiff. I know that Peugeots 306s (essentially the same car as a Xsara) had a prediliction for breaking wires in the door jamb - the flexible bit that connects the electrics in the door to the rest of the wiring loom. Especially on the drivers door. This can cause all sorts of electrical madness. If you haven't already, try asking on alt.autos.citroen or alt.autos.peugeot. Sorry I have no idea how to go about disabling the system. Because of the way many Peugeots/Citroens seem to be wired, pulling the fuse will probably also disable the rear left indicator and BBC radio 1, 3 and 5 on the stereo. -- Douglas |
