Nemo Ignition Interrupted

My 2009 Citroen Nemo diesel won't start at 153k km. Diagnostic says 'Terminal 15 ignition positive interrupted'. Battery terminals seem okay. Any ideas where to start?

Terminal 15 ignition positive interrupted' can be a pain! You've checked the battery, good start. Have you looked at the starter solenoid? Wiggle the ignition switch while starting, could be a dodgy connection. The power supply relay is another place to check; these can corrode. Is there a relay switch involved?

Thanks! I'll check the starter solenoid and ignition switch. Where is the power supply relay located on the Nemo? Which relay are you referring to?

The power supply relay location can vary, but it's usually near the fuse box, either under the dash or in the engine compartment. Your car's manual might have the exact location. Since the error message suggests a cable or plug connection problem, I still suggest a professional check.

Thanks a bunch! Took it to a workshop. It was a corroded connector on the ignition switch wiring, like you suspected. New connector and labor cost 95€. Running like a charm now!
