Peugeot 406 coupe 2.0 Wont Start!! :(

Post by Daruliz2222 »

Hello so i got my peugeot 406 coupe for a couple of weeks and i got this little problem which i kind of need to solve.

So i was driving all those weeks with the car and now i wanted to go in shooping annnd bum, wont start up.

it makes a lil bit kind of strange sound when i put the keys in it( i think its the system loading sound or turning on ) and when i turn it a half way the electric system loads up and everything is fine, but when i try to start it up electrical system, lights and everything which contains a car energy goes off without any of the errors, even the fuel metric, speedometer, tempeture and everything goes to 0 .
but i push my car with some of the friends and turn to 2 gear it start up fine and easy :/

also i went for a guy which works at garage and he fixed the car for a short time, he said it was a starter and a freezer which leaked on something... ! it was like 1 drive and when i pull over i couldnt make it work again ( wont start)


Any ideas or something that could work for me ? ??
Thanks, Darius

Okey well i got today this problem..
As usually my car wont start, but i got my friends which helped to push me and my car wont start on 2 gear. but then i take off the keys and put them back and turned them, car instantly turns on and everything was fine. then i did the same thing again - fine, works.
After some time around 19 pm, wont start again.. can it be cuz of fuel pump ? ?

Definitely a bad connection somewhere, probably on the battery itself or it's negative cables to the chassis or engine. If it was ok for a while then I don't think it'll be a dead battery like mine was.

Not sure about an earthing or a battery fault as there is a red light still on when the other lights go out....easy way to check is to put jump leads on from another car and see what happens...after checking the connections of course.
Fix a jump lead from battery earth to the engine earth as well.

My money is on an ignition switch fault.
