Citroen DS5 starting problems: Possible malfunction of the main relay of the engine control unit

Car won't start

Hey guys, I have a problem with my Citroen DS5 (gasoline, year of manufacture 2015). The car just won't start anymore. It occurred to me that it might be due to a malfunction in the main relay of the engine control unit. Have any of you ever had a similar problem and can help me? Your experiences with the workshop and how they rectified the fault would be particularly interesting. Thank you in advance.

Hello, I had a similar problem with my Citroen DS3 (gasoline, year of manufacture 2013). I have limited experience with cars, so I went straight to my regular garage. They identified the problem quite quickly and fixed it - it was actually the main relay that was faulty. The repair cost me 120 euros. Do you need any more information about your vehicle to help you? Maybe I've overlooked a few details that could be important. Let me know if you'd like me to go into more detail or if there's anything in particular you'd like me to discuss.

Hey, thanks for the reply. Good to know you had the same problem and it was solved by replacing the main relay. My DS5 now has 192522 kilometers on it and the last service wasn't too long ago either. I think I'll pay my garage a visit and see if they can help me. No, I don't need any more information. You've really helped me!

Hey, no problem, that's what we're here for. Glad I could help! The mileage on your DS5 seems to be high and it could be that certain parts are just giving up the ghost. The main workshop should be able to fix it. Please let me know if everything worked after they changed the main relay. Good luck and I hope that your car will soon be running like clockwork again. Keep at it and don't get discouraged!

It sounds like there might be an issue with the battery connections or the battery itself. Start by checking if the battery terminals are clean and tightly connected. If that doesn't solve the issue, you might need to check the battery's health. If you're not comfortable doing this yourself, I would recommend taking your car to a professional mechanic for a thorough inspection.

Let our mechanics help you!
