Re: lights gone crazy (moffitt)
Check all your fuses. I discovered that a fuse blowing in a seemingly unrelated circuit can cause bad grounds and such in other circuits. The electrical system in a C4 is really convoluted!
For example, my interior lights were acting all nuts, there was a buzzing relay coming from the glovebox area, all of which was due to the LCD panel fuse being blown. Oddly enough, the LCD panel was working :confused: but was displaying a "SYS" message. When I pulled that error code out it pointed to the correct circuit of the fuse I replaced though.
