Here are the reasons why a Peugeot 3008 won't start despite having power: Fuel system malfunction: When the car's fuel system is clogged or has other issues, even if the battery is fully charged, it can be very difficult to start the engine. However, this problem is not major and can be resolved by finding a professional mechanic for simple repairs. No fuel: Many careless car owners often forget to fill their vehicles with gasoline. If the car has no fuel, it won't start even if there is power. Electrical circuit failure: Check whether the fuses or high-voltage coils in the circuit are short-circuited or broken. If these components are fine, then the spark plugs need to be inspected. Electrical faults are generally caused by the central computer losing control functionality.
My Peugeot 3008 also had a no-start situation with battery power recently. The dashboard lights were all on, but there was no response when turning the key to start. Later inspection revealed it was a starter motor issue - worn carbon brushes caused poor contact. The fuel pump could also be the culprit, especially for older cars with 7-8 years of use, as the pump filter can clog or the motor may age. Another small detail to note: if the anti-theft chip in the key has poor contact, the car won't recognize the signal. In the end, it turned out to be a faulty starter relay, which can be checked in the fuse box. When encountering this situation, it's recommended not to repeatedly turn the key as it may burn fuses - calling a tow truck to the repair shop is the safer approach.
