Saxo Ignition Problems

My 2001 Citroen Saxo diesel has an intermittent starting issue and sometimes cuts out. I thought fuel or crankshaft sensor, but no luck. Now I'm looking at the ignition switch. Any specific fuses I should check? I have diagnostic tools and know electrics.

A 2001 Citroen Saxo diesel experienced intermittent starting issues and occasional engine cutouts. Initial suspicions included fuel problems or a faulty crankshaft sensor, but these were ruled out. Attention then shifted to the ignition switch, with suggestions to check the ignition switch connector and wiring for loose connections. Ultimately, a technician confirmed the ignition switch was faulty, and replacing it resolved the issue.

Did this summary help you solve your problem?

Sounds like ignition. Have you checked the ignition switch connector and wiring? A loose connection could do that.

I checked the connector and wiring, but it's intermittent, so maybe I missed something. Any specific tests or voltage measurements to find the problem in the ignition circuit?

Given the age and symptoms, the ignition switch is likely the problem. A workshop will have equipment to check it properly.

Took it to a technician, and the ignition switch was faulty. 52€ total. Runs perfectly now. Thanks
