@daveenglish: "I have just seen what seemed a very strange fault on a Peugeot 306, S1, 
1.9 Diesel.
The car stopped and would not start.  I found there was no electric 
power in the car when the ignition was turned to position 1 (or 2 or 3 
for that matter).  Then I saw that just occasionally the was the odd 
flicker on instrument light at position 1.
When I checked with a meter, I found that there were two +ve supply 
wires to the ignition switch, one of them dropped close to 0 volts when 
the ignition was turned to position "1".  No disturbance of the wires at 
the battery +ve end would make any difference, but giggling the wires at 
the ignition switch end would sometimes caused the flicker.  I excluded 
the connectors to the ignition switch, the voltage at the loom end of it 
was dropping.
After looking at the circuit diagram (well, actually 405 S2 circuit 
diagram Haynes BOL) I found that the good supply was for heated rear 
window only & the weak one for the rest of the car.  The diagram shows a 
single supply from the battery +ve until & then a connection joint to 
source the two +ve supply wires to the switch.  Once I understood this, 
I could just bridge the two supply wires at the switch to get the car 
going.
Has anyone come across the same?  Does anyone know where the connection 
in the loom.  I don't really want to remove the console just to see _if_ 
I can find it!
