Renault Modus Electrical Issue

I had something similar with my Modus. Have you checked the wiring harness for any corrosion or damage? From my experience it could be something as simple as a loose connection, but it could also be that your starter motor draws too much power. Worth having a look at both. Did you check the battery?

Thanks for the input! When you had the problem, did it also manifest as an intermittent issue, or was it consistently difficult to start? The odd thing is, it's not every single time, so that's why I suspected loose connection. How exactly did you go about checking those components?

Ah, the intermittent nature is key! Mine started intermittently too. I'm no expert, but I'd advise against tinkering too much. It could be a pain to troubleshoot without the proper tools, leading to further issues. Given your symptoms and the intermittent nature, I would recommend taking it to a reliable workshop for a proper diagnosis. It will save you time and hassle in the long run.

Thanks a lot for the advice! It does sound like it's beyond my capabilities. I'll take your suggestion and bring it to a workshop. Turns out, the battery was defective, but the Wiring Harness also needed fixing. Cost me 290€, but at least it's running smoothly again.
