Tiny Little Blue Switch

[JAF 182]

Does anyone know the purpose of this? Its located at the front of the interior light console - on the roof. Mines in the left position and Im leaving it there until I find what its for! You never know it might be the hyperspace drive and before I know it Im in another dimension...

bloody hell u lot with ur 182s

can somebody actually take a pic of this magical switch, im intreegd now

hehe

 

[Tom]

ive never even seen it.

 

[JAF 182]

Have searched earlier threads and this appears to be a mystery - although there was some speculation that its to do with the sun sensor for the cliamte control. Why that would have a switch I dont know - cloudy and bright positions? Sorry - cant do a photo at the moment.

 

[Gareth]

is this 182s only, or 172s also?

So far in the last month this has been discussed here: http://forum.cliosport.net/display_topic_threads.asp?ForumID=5&TopicID=99215&SearchPagePosition=1&search=blue&searchMode=allwords&searchIn=Topic&forum=0&searchSort=dateDESC&ReturnPage=SearchLink and here http://forum.cliosport.net/display_topic_threads.asp?ForumID=2&TopicID=98945&SearchPagePosition=1&search=blue&searchMode=allwords&searchIn=Topic&forum=0&searchSort=dateDESC&ReturnPage=SearchLink

Im sure there was another thread about it but the search function keeps failing!

Its not on the 172 so it cant be related to the climate control as its the same as in the 172.

 

[langers]

Grrr jsut checked my 182 and it got it also..... AHHH somebody tell me what it does

 

[viceroy]

Oh just flick the switch...whats the worst that can happen??? your passanger gets ejected James Bond style...

 

[jon_r]

Lee! you did a search? Your the one thats broken the forum then today!

Cant be climate related as I havent got one? Tis a mystery.

 

[toms_cup]

its the nos switch

 

[Lee]

Yup, it was me who broke the forum by using the search function.

I gave my little blue thing a prod the other day and it doesnt budge.

 

[TheCake]

somebody post a picture...

 

[Matt16v]

Pull it off and take it apart - should be able to tell then what it is. The mans solution to every problem!!

If not see what doesnt happen any more once its gone then you can tell!!

 

[langers]

Hmm im not sure if its actually a switch at all...it does not seem to move convincingly at all.

I just phoned renault and not surprisingly they didnt know what it was either..

It looks more like an LED to me.

[matlow]

Dont be silly, thats on a factory fitted timer.

 

[Has]

hahahha

 

[JAF 182]

Ive just been out to switch it and it doesnt appear to actually switch as such (mines now central rather than to the left!) - it just sits there looking blue and mysterious. It is approx 1.5mm in diameter, protrudes about 2mm and appears painted blue and is located in a black circular recess about 4mm dia.

Im now guessin it is a reset switch and perhaps pops out when tripped? This is complete guesswork...

 

[Has]

can i get oen fitted on my dynamique, i wanna copy u big boys

 

[BRUN]

maybe try Renault customer service rather than the dealers, at least if they dont know they will possibly call you back

 

[Ang]

anyone looked in their manual ??

 

[CocoPops]

lol, at all this guessing.

Someone with Dialogys needs to check and it may have a description?

 

[Weeman]

Lets see, a small button, that doesnt appear to do anything and just sits there looking mysterious???

Looks like the 182 has a Clitoris. Try giving it a little rub and see what happens?

 

[182 sport]

do not mess with the switch!!! seriously it is the key to the cars frame.It can be tested to see whether the cars owner is a smoker or non smoker.

 

[Tom]

LOL its a temp sensor

seems they have ditched the twin holes and a fan setup.

this is my EARLY 182

Perhaps its a mind control device.

It fools you in to believing that no rattles will ever occur.

Unfortunately even that doesnt work.

 

[NickM5c]

Its for bringing the warp engine online before you floor it on the motorway.

 

[J182]

Mine looks like toms, no clit on my clio!!

 

[keeper]

Thanks having a s#t day at work and reading this has made my day . Clio drivers are nuts

 

[dk]

LMAO at this thread, it is too funny. I was worried because I dont have this but mine is like Toms, one of the early 182s so I have the same as Toms pic, phew, glad thats sorted!

 

[Tom]

bit annoyed cos that led thing looks lighter, so late 182s will weigh 1089.9kg

 

[ricjax99]

pmsl @this thread!

Bunch of nutters heheheh

Does this mean I can beat Cups by a car length more now?

I never even noticed the map reading light had been moved on mine.

If she has a clit she must be a girl...

I just went out for another look and I couldnt find it.... it must be a clit!

[ZZip]

I think that its to deactivate the rear lights when youre towing a caravan

 

[Liam]

lol, thanks for answering it Tom, seems they must have got fed up of replacing noisy fan units and decided to stick a different style of thermometer there.
