Peugeot 306 Meridian - Electrics and clicking

Has anyone had the following symptoms ?

The car will start and run but intermittantly there will be clicking
from the left hand side of the car ( glovebox side ) and then the
instruments go mad. The temperature gauge rises and all other dials
stop working. The car also will gitch while running - by that I mean
nearly cut out and then start going again. This has just happened for
no reason at all - no ideas myself so please help if you can.

 

Hi Chris,

Check the earth cable from the battery to the bodywork and the earth cable
that connects the gearbox to the engine / bodywork. Hope this helps.

As Dave says check ALL the EARTHS.because it sounds just like that,

 

i had exactly the same problem with my 306 meridian i was ready to
trade it in or get it scrapped had tried everything for changing both
temp sensors to auto electricians! but stumbled across the fault at
night by accident! To the left of the battery is a gap where a cable
from the neg goes and the connects else chack to make sure that the
cable is still connected as mine must have been crimped to tight and
the copper had snapped and the clicking noise was when the cables
would touch over bumps! making the dials go crazy after making the
connection have now bin fault free for a week apart from auto elecs
telling me the ECU needs replacing cos the fault wont clear! not so
keen to part with £650 like!! hope this works mate

 

Hiya,

Had a friend which his 306 did the same last week, although he was
doing 70 on the motorway when his car cut out, the speedo needle went
to 50 and stayed there...and all the other needles was jumping all
over the place...not really what you want to happen on the M25, anyhow
peugeot dont know whats wrong with it, and its just sitting there,
they cant fix it :S

(Sorry, not the most comforting post,lol
