When you actuate the stalk position can you hear a relay in the UCH's area "click"?
Its not as scientific as plugging it in on CLIP to see what the switch position reports bur it should help rule out a switch/relay fault vs a dodgy motor.
CLIP cannot "cooy/paste" programmed data from one unit to another non-virgin unit I'm afraid. As above, that route is not simple but possible by electrical engineers with some very specific equipment.
Sorry to butt-in but to do what you want isn't as easy as it sounds. Whoever is doing this will need both UCH's to firstly copy the original vehicles security and config data from and then dump it on on the replacement... not a simple task which will require some serious equipment.
I've gotta be honest, I don't like that kit as they're too bright (Maybe its just the photos). The idea behind the cabin lighting (to me at least) is that it emits just enough light to allow your eyes to comfortably see the interior without it flooding the cabin with red or making you visible to...
Its not a commonly found option on Renaults but it was fitted to Espace IV's, Laguna II's and some late Scenics.
It should be easy enough to retro fit something if you're okay with general/basic electrics. You could use the light units from any of the above and work the Clio plastics to accept...
At £200 its not a bad buy but it needs a set of keys really, maybe a UCH (unlikely) and if you don't already have it the security access code to allow you to program the new key(s).
If Renault do it or someone with access to Truecode you wont need the access code.
I never understand this either as the normal reason for wanting this is because it supposedly increases the "feel" of the steering but ive never found hydraulic assistance to be particularly bad in this area.
If you take it off sell me the pump and brackets please.
First thing you need to do is clear the lot out and take it for a drive to see if they re-appear. Then if they do you need to fault find on those systems reporting the voltage issues.
Check alternator output (again) and maybe try with the charge link unplugged also. Then test the voltage...
As above, spare key first then, if it still plays up you'll need to check the induction loop (rare that these actually die) then confirm the ring has power, earth and a coms line to the UCH.
If all is good with the above and its still playing up then a new UCH needed you will.

I personally prefer to take actual measurements. I had a Vivaro today showing over 15v at the ABS module on CLIP but Mr Voltmeter showed a nice 14.3v at fast idle on the actual power line.
Don't always believe the computer ;-)
Obviously it needs attention but I think you'll be okay for a while. Mine needs a new pump and whines for a few minutes and then goes quiet until you push the steering hard again... It's on the Christmas shutdown "To Do" list for me though.
Check all the flaps are moving. From memory, the air mix flap is in the passenger side footwell.
Could just be the solenoid gone pop but it could be something else requiring more in depth investigation.
Start simple and check the flap.
