One of 2 things could be your problem: 1) Bad alternator or 2) Bad starter
I removed my ignition switch with a screwdriver and a power drill. I warn you it damaged the whole system though. I have to start it with a screwdriver now.
Yes, inasmuch as they turn off when you shut off the engine and remove the ignition key; and the standard daytime running lights come on when you're driving. You have to switch from DRL to headlights with a switch, though - but in my soob I just leave my headlight switch on all the time anyway.
Usually it is a warning that either you have left your keys in the ignition, or you have left your headlights, interior, or parking lights on. Sometimes, though, the little switch in the ignition that senses the presence of the key, will stick. Reinserting the key and jiggling it around a bit while removing it will often fix it.
HeyKris==It is probably the switch located on the brake pedal. GoodluckJoe I am having the same problem but shouldn't both the top light and the break lights be activated from the same switch? Is there anything else it could be?
Hi, check out http://forum.peugeot206club.com for all your answers to questions regarding the 206! :)
Are you talking about the electronic ignition module or the ignition switch? The ignition module sits in the engine compartment and is part of the ignition system (coil, spark plugs, etc). The answer is no if this about what you're referring. The answer for the ignition switch will depend on the vehicle you have. Some, like late model Fords, you don't. Push in the retaining pin and the ignition switch comes right out (you still need a key though). Others you need to take off the steering wheel to replace the switch.
Take the bulbs out...
In my humble opinion, it is never easy to fix anything on cars these days. I would assume though that if everything goes dead then it is a good possibility that the ignition switch is at fault. It's a common problem spot for many.
The headlight switch may be bad. Try replacing. Its the Headlight switch. The switch has a built in Circuit Breaker that self resets. It has become bad and will eventually give it up.
You probably have a faulty headlight switch. Replace it and that should fix it. Been there, done that.
If its anything like my 2000 Wrangler, there's a switch on the floor just in front of the shifter. You just insert your ignition key into it and turn toward "off". Your best bet would be to check your manual though.
the lights have a programmer they automatically stay on when u turn your car off, should only be on for a couple of minutes though, that's how the lights on my Bonneville work
