Car Electrics And Key Fob For Peaugeot 107

[tandh]

Hiya, my radio and cigarette lighter have both stopped working in my peugeot 107, everything else is working fine though. I've also lost the clicker that opens the car without the key. Where is the best place to get it repaired (replaced)? I got it from a dealership, would it be worth going back there, or will i be charged a crazy amount that's not justifiable

Hi tandh, your cigarette lighter and radio will be on the same fuse ( probably blown ), it will be a 10 amp fuse. Check the fuses.

New key from the main dealers will be expensive.

As Tony says, many cars have a common fuse for the radio and cigarette lighter. (You might also find that the interior light isn't working, as that's commonly on the same fuse too). I had to replace the one on my Escort just a week ago. (It was 15A though, not 10A). The handbook should tell you where to find the fuse, how to remove it (with the fuse puller that's clipped inside the fuse box) and the correct rating. I paid just £1.89 for a pair of fuses at Halfords, so it shouldn't be an expensive job!

Remember tough that fuses don't blow without a reason. You've probably inserted something into the cigarette lighter socket which shorted the circuit. (That's what I did). So take a look at anything that you plug into the socket to check that it's not defective.

A new remote key will be far from cheap wherever you go for it. As Tony's link indicates, you'll probably have to fork out a couple of hundred quid (or simply continue using the manual key!)

Thank you, that's brilliant news about the electrics. I'm a little shocked as it was a phone charger from marks and spencer that done it, glad it's not going to cost a fortune to fix.
yee! just checked and it's only £50 for key (my car is a 107, not 1007)
Thank you both so much for your help, thought i would be looking at at least a couple of hundred for the electrics alone
