Yeah, I checked the ones under the hood and inside the car. I mean, I THINK I checked them all, unless there's some secret fuse box hidden behind the flux capacitor or something. Was your issue exactly the same? The random shut-offs are what really scare me, was it happening to you too? I'm worried it's something serious with the car electronics.

Okay, so the random shut-offs didn't happen to me, thankfully! And it was a while ago, so I don't fully remember. My dashboard light was on as well, now that you mention it. But seriously, based on what you're describing with the engine running roughly, the shut-offs, and the starting issue, I would take it to a workshop! I'd hate for it to be something dangerous or more expensive to fix later!

Ugh, you're probably right. Guess I was hoping for a magic internet fix. I'll book it in for diagnostics. The problem was indeed a defective fuse, and the repair cost me 52€. Thanks for the advice!

Whoa, that sounds rough! I had something similar happen with my 508, although it wasn't quite as dramatic. It was super intermittent, though. One day it would start, the next nothing. Did you check all the fuses, even the ones under the hood? The starting issue is awful, I'm sorry!
