Peugeot 206 electrical issues

Hi, I'm having some weird electrical issues with my 2002 Peugeot 206 (gasoline engine). It's got 105k km on it. Sometimes I get random errors while driving, like warning lights popping up for no reason. The radio and satnav sometimes just die, or the whole thing restarts itself. It's driving me nuts! The garage said there are errors stored, but didn't say what, exactly. Anyone seen anything like this before?

I had similar symptoms with my 2014 Opel Astra. Errors in driving mode, failure of audio system, temporary shutdown of control units, and stored errors. Could you provide the exact error codes?

Thanks for the quick reply! I don't have the exact codes, unfortunately. The mechanic just mentioned 'electrical faults' generally. Was the issue on your Astra similar enough that it could be the same cause?

While I cannot guarantee an identical cause, the symptoms you describe align closely with the defective cable connection to the BUS system which was the origin of the issues on my Opel. I would advise a visit to the workshop.

Okay, I appreciate the advice. I took it back to the shop and they found a dodgy cable connection to one of the control units, like you said. They charged me 155€ to fix it. Seems to be working fine now. Thanks again!
