Kadjar electrical fault

I'm having a head-scratcher with my 2015 Renault Kadjar gasoline, about 191474 km on the clock. I'm getting a 'Terminal 30 continuous plus interrupted' error. Basically, the car starts poorly. I suspect a heavily discharged or defective battery. Anyone experienced similar power supply issues or electrical fault?

I had something similar happen in my Kadjar. Check for voltage drops. Could be a bad wiring harness or even something as simple as a blown fuse in the fuse box. Have you checked those?

Thanks for the quick reply. Voltage drops, eh? I'll scope the wiring harness for shorts. Which fuse box are we talking about, the one in the engine bay or the one inside the cabin?

I'm not sure about testing the wiring harness myself, not something I'm confident doing. I'd recommend a workshop. In my case, it was in the engine bay, but to be sure, check both. Better safe than sorry.

You were spot on! After testing the circuit, the workshop confirmed a parasitic draw somewhere in the engine bay fuse box. Repair cost me 290€, but the Kadjar is starting like a champ now. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
