Cruise control problem (video included) AND climate control

[Dank182]

Has anyone else experienced this? Basically when I set my speed on the cruise control everything is fine. I can turn it off/return and increase the speed with the + sign. The only thing I can't do is reduce it. It just seems to cancel it completely? The video below shows what it does....

Its temperamental and I have had it working once but 90% of the time this is what I get.

Also, so, is there an internal temp sensor for the clio? Easy to change? Basically when in auto mode, unless I set the temp to minimum or 16/17 degrees the fans will be set to minimum. I can manually increase it fine but it's as if the car thinks its warmer that it actually is, which I know isn't the case because I tried to set it to 26 when it was 9 degrees the other day and it just sat on one bar of fan speed.

cheers all.

There's a sensor inside the roof panel, nearby the interior lights.
It's easy to change it with a flat screw driver to unclip the panel.

The part number is 8200093290.

Regarding the climate control, is the car fully warmed up when this is happening?

Thanks cclien!

sburrell93. Yes its fully warmed up. One thing worth pointing out is that the external temperature sensor is missing, which means it is blank on the screen too. It was like that when I bought it and I am looking to replace it when I get some free time. I'm beginning to wonder whether the climate control fan and temperature speed are dependant on the internet/external temps and unless it can get a uniform reading it just has some sort of basic function which is what I'm getting now. I'll try that and let you know how I get on.

As for the cruise control, seems to work 99% of the time now. I will probably take a closer look when I come to change the steering wheel thumb grips.

Thanks for all the help.

Don't think the air con is linked to the outside temperature sensor so I don't think that would make a difference. I'd try the one in the roof panel. It has a small fan in it to pull air in to it so maybe that's not working or it's blocked with dust or something.

Cruise control sounds like the steering wheel switches are a bit dodgy tbh
