peugeot 306 electrical problem - LWsaint
Recently as i was driving along my stereo suddenly cut off(which wont come back on) and the central locking stopped working. I thought must be electrical problem, however the horn, lights and electric windows still work. For the first time when i turn engine on and off both indicators flash once or twice which never happened before. Any ideas?? Can i solve this myself or does it sound like a more serious thing??

Have you checked the fuse?

Could be weak battery/alternator. When I had a faulty alt (on a 306) the battery wasnt charging correctly so as you drove along gradually things stopped. The 1st to go was always the radio, followed by the dash lights, then the instruments themselves and then finally the lights. Recon alternator cured it.
