Citroen BSI (Body Control) units are very prone to failure. Symptoms include no indicators, ignition lights on with no key, wildly incorrect cluster readings and complete non start. Before replacing the unit try the BSI Reset procedure as this may cure your faults: Put the driver's window down, lift the bonnet and ensure all equipment is switched off. Ensure all doors are closed and remove key from the ignition. Wait for 3 minutes, disconnect the vehicle battery and wait 15 seconds. http://www.cxoc.net/index.php?topic=5775.0[2011-10-01 18:15:29]

BSI Reset Reconnect the vehicle battery, wait a further 10 seconds (do not open doors.). Switch on the side lights through the driver's window. Switch on the ignition and check system's functionality. Hold lock button on key down for 10 seconds. Remove key open & close door test central locking system. Start the engine and complete the system's check.

Remember... Failure to follow this procedure could result in incorrect operation of many BSI related items. Hope this helps someone (and hope I'm the first one to post it here)

It might - or it might necessitate a trip to the Dealers and a session with their Lexia. Can't do any harm if you follow it to the letter. The waiting bits are the most important.
