Re: C5 electrical issues (poss bcm?)
ive just done a fresh install of windows on a laptop and installed diagbox 7.44 still exactly the same issue theres nothing at the obd port it wont even power my code reader up thats dead too let alone the laptop, so im thinking maybe the error lies within as even if lexia was being a pain it should still show something on my obd readers
im in lincoln, had a quick glance at the list of members not many yellerbellys on there
if i can get a codereader to power up then by process if elimination i would know the OBD port is ok and my lexia is dodgy would that not be first port of call? im gonna get some qtips and some isopropyl alcohol and try and get to the pins

Re: C5 electrical issues (poss bcm?)
How is your car battery? Secondly what about 'enonomy mode' if that is active it will keep shutting everything off? Ignition on isn't enough, needs car starting. Worth a mention.

Fuse 18 is for the diagnostic socket, worth a look maybe.

Re: C5 electrical issues (poss bcm?)
right got voltage at the socket, whilst i was there I pulled the BCM and theres corrosion to two of the sockets, EH av has a little corrosion and the socket labelled EP is heavily corroded some of the SMT looks really gash the top board has loads of corrosion between links it looks terrible lol i dont have an image host or i would link to some photos. Just had an electrician walk in and asked him for a second opinion and it indeed looks goosed.
right rang BBA-Reman and its an incredibly rare unit and they dont have any nor can they get one from any supplier
in the words of homer...
DOH!!!!!!
part number is 9637466180 if anyone has a spare kicking about lol

Re: C5 electrical issues (poss bcm?)
Because deadlocking is not standard in all countries. In the UK deadlocking is standard on the mk1 C5. You cant just activate deadlocking it either on ta car that never came with it as it has to have been fitted with deadlocking door latches. You can however reprogram a mk1 C5 with deadlocking with Lexia no not deadlock (or simple locking as Citroen call it) on the plip but not the other way around as it needs deadlocking door latches. In the UK the mk1 C5 default is that the plip is set to deadlock & the only way to not deadlock it is to use the key in the door lock barrel or the button on the dash. The mk2 Xsara is exactly the same. Not sure if the mk2 is the same but the Mk3 seems to need a double press to deadlock.GiveMeABreak wrote: So I can't see why there would be mention of deadlocking as a separate state if it was on all the time, i.e. the default. The whole locking function is covered under After Sales Operations, under door management. Regarding the actual remote plip - somebody would have to clarify whether changing the locking parameters would then alter the plip locking function / sequence.

Re: C5 electrical issues (poss bcm?)
seventieth update of the day...........thanks for the link btw
after pulling the BCM out and cleaning it all up with WD40 and a toothbrush Lexia has started working =)
only fault showing now on the BCM is no connection to the suspension ECU which was ok before I dismantled it so maybe by this (and if this is the only fault) then the BCM might not need changing? Im guessing that ive not connected something right as the suspension ECU was ok before I unhooked the BCM now its showing as an error and when i press the raise / lower buttons the display on the dash just shows a cross through the suspension picture.
Actually, its just dawned on me that this could be because I reset the BCM again once I refitted it but i didnt operate the suspension controls prior to starting the vehicle so maybe the module isnt seeing the suspension ecu because of it, i remember remapping a laguna a while back and you need to click the cruise control then the speed limiter before starting the vehicle after a remap or they "dissapear" from the main ecu and are not seen
I have found where to change the BCM parameters the doors are set to Level 1 Deadlocking, I can change it to Simple Locking Only but cannot write any parameters back to the BCM as it is asking me for a code.........
oh and incidentally, add me to the list of people with Lexia willing to help other members might be useful having someone in my neck of the woods as noone else is

Really glad you're making progress on this. A good dose of contact cleaner will also help once you have got all the gunk off. As you mention, these boards are getting harder to get hold of, so it's the softly softly approach! Hopefully, you'll get all your locking sorted out shortly.

Re: C5 electrical issues (poss bcm?)
Do make sure to use PROPER contact cleaner (and not something like WD40), as this will give better (i.e. reliable) results.

If the global test shows no dialogue try selecting the suspension option and initiating dialogue that way, you may find it will restore communications.
