Kadjar starting issue

My 2015 Renault Kadjar (gasoline engine) is giving me fits. At 152599 km, it now won't start sometimes; other times, it just dies while driving. When it does run, it's quite rough. Any ideas? I've checked the basic stuff, like battery connections, but I suspect something electrical.

I own a Kadjar, too. Had a similar experience a while back; key turn, dash lights up, but nothing happens? Or, if it starts, it sputters and dies? Sounds like it could be a simple fix. Have you checked the fuses?

Fuses, you say? Which fuse specifically? I've glanced at the fuse box diagram, but honestly, I'm not sure which one would cause these symptoms. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Well, without seeing it myself, I can't be 100% sure, but the symptoms do match what I experienced. Seriously, though, I'd suggest taking it to a workshop. Car electronics can be fickle and doing it yourself might do more harm than good.

Thanks so much for the advice. Turns out, it was a simple blown fuse; cost me 52€ to fix. I had no idea that a single fuse could cause such havoc. I appreciate you pointing me in the right direction!
