Thats the airbag light russ is on about, you will have thrown out the steering wheel angle sensor. Best get it down to renault so they can re initialise it.
One way to test the switch is to put the wipers on and put the car in reverse with the engine running, the rear wiper should wipe, but if it doesnt, the sensor is at fault.
Sounds like a Crank sensor fault, very common throughout the renault range. Take it to a garage and get them to replace the sensor and loom with the new blue modified ones.
Which one was it?
Just as an example, I was working on a 197 and the problems were, brake lights on all the time, boot not opening, and rear wiper not working. This turned out to be a fuse for the interior lights!!
