I had it happen once, after I pulled over and turned the engine off it was
fine afterwards.
That weekend I took off the quick-release battery terminals cleaned the
terminals and the posts on the battery and re-attached tehm with a fresh
coating of vaseline. Those quick release battery terminals are the weakest
design that I have ever seen in a car, such a small contact area for current
to flow through.

Never done it since.

This could also be the earthing to the engine and the gear box. Had this
problem on a 406.

Hi,

Had a similar problem last year on my 2004, 307 1.6. Resetting clock,
resetting radio, doors not unlocking cleanly etc. Got progressively worse
over 6 months until one day the wipers started wiping all on their own!

Took it in and after Peugeot stuffing around for a month they found several
wires under the fuse box had melted together and to earth and the fuse box
had parts melted as well!

Total bill came to R30,000 (about 3,000 pounds) luckily all under warranty.

Started doing its tricks again two months ago so I sold it ASAP!
