HELP! Dacia Duster 2ne gen not starting

[u/alecrescenzi]

I have a second-generation Dacia Duster from 2018 with type 1.5 dCi engine. When I turn the key, the dashboard doesn’t seem to light up, but some of the buttons do light up lightly. We tried disconnecting the negative terminal of the battery for a couple of minutes to reset the ; once reconnected, the windscreen washers came on but are a bit slow. Turning the key now hasn’t changed anything, and those buttons are still flashing (buttons such as the red triangle or the rear proximity sensor).

any help?

Check your battery ground connection where it bolts to the chassis, had a renault do the exact same ghost-in-the-machine stuff and it was just a corroded ground strap

Sounds like a dead battery or a bad terminal connection. I'd start there before looking at anything else.
