Hi all, need a little advice. I have a Pilote Referance 690 on a Fiat Ducato. When the battery falls to about 1250 the door locks start opening and closing all the time, after a while the windscreen wipers switch on, washers operate and hazard lights switch on. Can't seem to find a problem. Is there a logical explanation or is the motorhome haunted? Hope someone can help.

Sounds like a bad earth,
Check the earth strap and clean it where it is bolted to the chassis,
Clean both battery poles and re tighten.

I drove down the road in one of our vans with full beam and the wipers and washers going.

I thought it was possessed. Put new earth on and it didn't help, new engine battery cured it.
