Traveller wont start

Hey, I'm kinda freaking out here. My 2022 Peugeot Traveller diesel just won't start! It's got about 46860 km on it. The engine control system seems to be malfunctioning. I turn the key, and nothing. Absolutely nothing! Could it be the battery? I tried wiggling the cables, but no luck. Anyone else had this?

Check your battery cable connections thoroughly. Are they clean and tight? A loose or corroded connection can cause starting issues. Even if they look okay, it's worth double-checking.

Thanks! When you say 'thoroughly', what exactly do you mean? Like, take them completely off and clean them? And what should I use to clean them?

Yes, disconnect them. Clean any corrosion with a wire brush. Ensure they are tightened securely upon reassembly. If the problem persists after that, it's time to get it to a workshop.

Okay, just wanted to let you know, you were right! I took the battery cables off, cleaned them up real good (they were kinda nasty), and tightened everything back down. Started right up! Cost me 155€ at the workshop to have the connections cleaned and secured properly. Thanks so much for the help!
