Yep common fault, new part from Renault (£50ish) and 5 mins with a screw driver & socket set will sort it.

Sounds like a dodgy connection somewhere,
I know sod all about electrics but if it continues then i'd be going to see an auto sparky.

Might need greasing. The plastic cogs in the solenoid mechanism can get stuck pretty easily. Luckily you can take it apart easily enough.
