Post a picture of Your fuse box, you should see two fuses in the underbonnet fusebox that are on their own
4th row down taking the corner as being at the top.
Second fuse in is for the starter..
Use a voltmeter to see if you are actually getting power here, when start button is pressed..

 

The connectors at the battery terminals are actually fusible links. Have you tested these? Put CAL Fuse into the search box (top right) on this forum.

 

Hi, many thanks for your response and advice. I have taken a look at the battery and all around the compartment but i cannot find anything that vaguely looks like the fusible link you refer to. Does my car definitely have them?

 

Either that or a heavy duty fuse. Wrong model but does this help at all. Look at the rear of the battery housing. Not easy to see.

otherwise, are you sure 12V is getting to the starter motor when necessary.

EDIT: Ignore this, bad advice. The post below might be more useful.

 

This might help

Many thanks again for your advice. Unfortunately the description in the recommended post does not match my fuse box.

 

Welcome to the world of Renault. Maybe it is time to get the multimeter out and check the 12V supply (or continuity) from the starter back to the battery.

 

Hi,

As always many thanks for taking time to offer advice. Here is a photo of 1 of the fuse boxes under the bonnet. The orientation of this fuse box in the car is battery to the left and window screen to the top - do you think the yellow 20A fuse is for the starter?

I am aware there is a large (White) 80A fuse missing from the fuse box but this was taken out at the time the photo was taken.

The only other option is a fuse box/electronics board above (towards the wind screen) in the bonnet, this is a lot more awkward to access as it is inverted and movement is restricted due to the cabelling. Have i been looking in the wrong location for the fuse?

Regards

 

Not a clue, are you sure you have listed the correct car in your description

 

Yes its definitely the right car. Its a 2012 Grand Scenic lll 1.5 DCI 110hp

 

what fuse box is that, and where.
Down the side of your battery, a cover, this cover is flat, under this cover, a black box, with no fuses visible, pull this box up, fuses are there.
Check in there
Not easy to get this fuse box up, but looking at it with the cover off.
Look for the triangle thats missing off the square or assume its a square box, Triangle at the top, as you look at it left hand side it is clipped in, screwdriver down at the middle of this, and you can lift the fuse box up and out.
Careful,, as the wiring comes up with it.

 

I know the fuse box you are describing, it is the 1 i mentioned in a previous post with limited access. Very awkward to get to the fuses due to the length of the wiring.
I shall have a look tomorrow and report how i get on.
Many thanks for your help. ***x1f44d;
