Help! Scenic interior fan not working

[sbridgey]

Right i am not sure if this section is clio only or not so can a admin/mod move if i have gotten it wrong.


So the dial thing that adjusts the fan on my mums 56 plate Scenic II doesnt do anything, i have checked the fuses in the glove box and everything seems fine, i have taken the lid off of the under bonnet fuses to find the ECU (i think) and then 3 large fuses and one relay, i am not sure if there are any fuses below the ecu(i can take a picture if you dont know what i mean) but i am not taking the ecu off unless i have too. i have read on google some things about resistor packs or maybe the switch/dial has broken, how would i be able to check this?

This is the heater resistor pack plug that plugs into the resistor pack, as you can see one of the terminals has melted, i phoned Renault Leamington for a price for plug/loom and a the resistor pack, the price was £120 which i think is quite expensive but they do keep that part in stock and said it must have been a common for them too keep it in!

I also asked about my car's bonnet catch and they said that it didnt matter if it had been done before, if it had a molecule of rust on it they would replace it for free and do a 21 point check which i thought was very good of them.

If anyone wants to know how i accessed the resister plug here is the guide: http://www.renaultforums.co.uk/showthread.php?t=53483&page=4

I had the same problem on mine, but found a new resistor pack and loom for under £50 at http://www.heaterblowerresistor.co.uk/renaultscenicheaterresistor.html Useful video also!
