Sensor housed Within Interior Light card

[Craig Ed]

I have noticed for a few years now that i hear this like motor spinning noise coming from where the interior light that sits above your head and has really bugged the hell out of me. I finally got that annoyed with it, that i pulled the roof card off and removed the plug to a black slug looking thing.

To much displeasure i thought it worked and was chuffed, but of course it had a job to play and noticed this morning that it actually regulates the temperature in the car in accordance to the climate control. So i think ill have to put up with it. Unless i enjoy a 23ish oC breeze/heat.

Just thought if anyone ever wondered what it was then thats what that noise is FYI

Please note this is in a 172 Ph 2 full fat........(possibly other models)

Do a search there loads on threads on this! Its the cabin temperature sensor for the climate control. A new one will cure the problem.

will it really cure the problem? the noise seems to be coming from the plastics vibrating & not the fan itself so i bet it would do exactly the same thing again... otherwise they are £20ish from renault
