DS5 Starting Issue

My 2017 Citroen DS5 diesel sometimes won't start. Only 36031 km. Key turn, dashboard lights up, but nothing. Other times, it starts then cuts out or runs rough. Battery seems fine. Is there an ignition fuse? I am lost!

I had similar issues with my DS5. Key turn, nothing happening, I thought the starter motor was dead! Does it happen all the time, or just intermittently?

It's totally random. Sometimes it starts first time, other times I'm sat there ages trying to get it going. When it cuts out, it's like someone's flicked a switch. Any more details?

Yeah, mine was doing exactly the same. Random starting issues, cutting out. Turned out to be some dodgy connection in the ignition system. Honestly, just get it to a workshop, they'll sort it quicker than you messing about with it yourself.

Cheers for the advice! Took it to a local garage, they found a defective ignition fuse. 52€ all in. Starts perfectly now. You were spot on!
