Citroen Xsara Picasso - My igntion live has gone - Lucas Smalley

Hey guys, i have a citroen xsara picasso 2.0hdi 2004 and while on my way to work everything died apart from my radio and hazards and things like that, i found out that the fuse box under the steering wheel, the igntion fuse doesnt have a live, i can put a power to the igntion switch and the igntion will come on and the car will start but once i remove the power it dies again, what could this be just the igntion switch or? Because theres no power to the fuse and im stuck please help

Are there any other fuses anywhere between the battery and fusebox?

There are usually 2 ignition circuits to the switch on these. So you need to find whether there is a loss of input to the switch,or output.
