It may well be Patchie or it could be a broken wire in the harness that runs between the RH inner wing, across the front crossmember and up to the engine bay fusebox. This loom is prone to damage from coolant leaks.
These diagrams should help you to diagnose the problem.

The first link is the schematic wiring diagram, the second is a wiring diagram shown as harnesses and the thirs is a component location diagram.
The four digit codes by each component are fully listed in the Haynes BoL.
It's Harness 10AV that so often gives the problems.
Hope that helps and welcome to the forum!

any solution to the starting problem
i have the same problem on xantia 1.9 TD (1994). On turning the key no dashboard lights glow up, no glow plug light. on further turning, the engine turns but does not start. I had been having this problem once in a while over the past one year and then resolving itself in a few hours. but now again it wont start. seems like the ignition sequence is not powering and the fuel pump, and the starter coils are not receiving the signal.
