Citroen Xsara Picasso lights come on just opening the car...and lots more!
Variant: Desire
Model Year: 2004
Categories:
Electrics, ECU, Warnings & Lights
I click the car to open it and the headlights come on, I've not even got in the car. Then the lights remain on for about 20mins while I'm driving about. While the lights remain on, the fans, to de-mist the windscreen, don't work, so I have to take a towel each day to wipe the screen inside. It's also cold as there's no fan/heat! After having the engine running for about 20 mins the lights go off and instantly the fans start to work. Also when it's in this strange 20 min mode the main beam won't work. Sling it on the scrap heap?!

Suggested Solution
you need a test done on the body control module,everything runs through this beasty and when it plays up it gives very unusual symptoms,like yours.
You need a Citroen equiped garage,or some one with very good diagnostics,the expensive kind I'm afraid.
