C8 2014 side lights

Unread post by erelis67 »

Hello, has anyone know where to find a side light schematics for the Citroen C8 2014 2.0hdi? I have a problem where I got water in the fuse box under the bonnet. Some pins have broke and now side lights don't work anymore. Or would there be a way to short some connectors so that the lights would come up when the low beams turn on?

That sounds rather like a fault already under discussion for another member on this thread. It might pay you to watch that one and add in your own situation there. :)

As a C8 owner this concerns me, not the fact that the sidelights have gone but how did the water get in!?

Yes I ask the stupid questions, because normally it is that simple.

wont pass an MOT like that, the sidelights must be able to come on on their own.

Normally an incorrectly fitted BSM cover. See the clips broken all the time with people trying to unclip them with a screwdriver
