Why does the ignition switch on in the Ford Fiesta but not the engine?
Years 2017-2023

Answer

If the instrument cluster turns on but not the engine in the Ford Fiesta, there may be a problem with the battery, which does not have sufficient charge. In this case, the battery will become more and more discharged after each attempt to switch on. If the battery is fully charged, there may be a fault in the starter motor and it will be necessary to call for assistance.
