Problem with the Economy mode activated on a 2006 Citroen C3.

Model: Citroen C3 FC, FN - Years 2002-2009
Part: Fuse box

In this video, we see how the youtuber identified the problem with his 2006 Citroen C3, hoping to help anyone who may have had a similar issue with the same car. If the Eco mode is activated on this model and the car doesn't start, we can access the fuse box located in the engine compartment, above the battery cover. The problem was solved by examining the various fuses, and we specifically identified fuse number 5, which is for the fuel pump and may have burned out for some reason. This causes the EcoMode light to come on, but simply changing this fuse will restore the car to its functionality.
