Peugeot 206 Lighting Fault

My Peugeot 206 (2006, gasoline) has a lighting fault. The lights switch on erratically, and an error is stored. I suspect a defective headlight switch. Has anyone encountered such an electrical problem?

A Peugeot 206 owner is experiencing erratic lighting behavior and an error code, suspecting a defective headlight switch. A suggestion is made to check the cable and plug connections for looseness or corrosion, as these could cause the symptoms and error code. It is advised to inspect these connections and consider a workshop visit for further diagnosis and repair.

Sounds like a classic faulty headlight switch. Have you checked the cable and plug connections to the switch itself? A loose or corroded connection can cause these symptoms. Try wiggling the connector with the lights on to see if the issue replicates.

Thanks. I haven't examined the cable or plug connections yet. Could a defective connection explain the error code, or would that more likely indicate a faulty switch?

A defective connection is definitely a plausible explanation for the error code. If the control unit detects an unexpected voltage drop or interruption due to a bad connection, it will register an error. Given the car's age, corrosion is quite likely. I still recommend a workshop visit; the fault is very likely in the cable or plug connection.

I appreciate the confirmation. I'll inspect the cable and plug connections and take it to the workshop. The repair cost was 95€. Thanks for your help.
