It is now fixed, as described by xantiamanolis in this post.xantiamanolis wrote: 19 Mar 2023, 07:54 hello my friends from Greece, 3 months ago I had a problem with starting my xantia 2 1800 16v mod 2000 car, the starter was turning but the engine wouldn't start, I had no indication on the dial of a problem immo also when I unlocked the doors the interior light came on and it turned off immediately whereas normally it should stay on for about 30 seconds also when I opened the doors I had the interior lighting flashing and you could hear the relay from the texton cabin brain all these symptoms with outside temperatures below 7 degrees, the same symptoms also happened to a xantia 2 activa of my friend. started, the temperature inside the vehicle had to reach about 20 degrees
this is the problem, gentlemen, its solution
there are 2 smd type electrolytic capacitors on the board with characteristics 100uf 50v and 100uf 16v
change them at someone who has an electronic workshop and the car will never have a problem again
Many, many thanks to xantiamanolis for the guidance on the Body Computer fix! And to CitroJim and Lancia58 for their guidance on locating and removing the Body Computer.
Very much with their help I have been able to fix a problem that I have been chasing for two years! Many thanks!
