Sidelights & wipers coming on when not asked to means the BSI has lost communication with the Com2000 unit. My first thoughts on this are a faulty Com2000 (lighting & wiper stalk)

Yes it can cause a non start situation, the receiver for the immobiliser goes through this unit.

Comm2000 units don't need to be programmed. They are not cheap though! There's a chap called Graeme up in Bradford who repairs them, but I can't find his number! Have a look see on berlingoforum.co.uk, hes on there somewhere.

Be careful with the airbag mechanism when you disconnect everything.

Check your fuses first. Usually one feeds the COMM unit, failure of the fuse will cause everything you describe.

the OP says "its not a fuse",

but maybe there are hidden maxi fuses under the main engine bay fuse box, so if the OP dud not know of this possibility there could maybe still be a fuse poped

On the grey COMM unit plug, check Pin 4 for earth and Pin 5 for battery voltage with ignition on.

If your car has ESP the steering angle sensor in the com2000 will need to be programmed with Lexia, if not then its plug & play.
And yes best to confirm power supplies & earth before jumping in & replacing the unit, the problems described can also be a short or open circuit in the data wires between the com2000 & the under bonnet fusebox.
