My car C elysee 1.6 HDI, won't start. The fuel is not getting to the engine.
I would like to know if the fuel pump is controlled with a fuse or relay?
If so which relay controls it? So I can check it or replace it. Many Thanks

Unfortunately we don't have a manual for this vehicle as it is not offered here in the USA so we can't provide specific info but you are on the right path if you have no fuel.

The fuel pump relay and fuse are normally in the under hood fuse box that is in the engine compartment. The locations can be found either on the fuse panel cover or the owners manual.

The other way you can check them if you cannot find them is to turn the key on and go back to the fuel pump and check for power. If you don't have 12 volts at the pump then it is either the fuse, relay, wiring, or control module. At least at that point we know it if one of them versus the pump itself.

Sorry we don't have the specific detail that you are looking for, we are just limited to the manuals for the market that we are in. Hopefully this helps point us in the right direction. Thanks
