hi

i have a 1995 espace non aircon, td version.

the cabin fan control is not working in all but the last postion (the full 
force, in your face gale)

is this likely to be a simple switch with resistors on is there more to 
these controls.

also how do you get to the back of the switch ?
the heater controls & air outlet along with a top dash tray all appear to be 
one peice but i cant locate any screws to relase the unit to check. i have 
tried prizing gently with srew driver but it does not want too budge so i 
guess there must be some screws hidded somewhere.

the haynes manual i have is complety useless in this area (i think probably 
all areas but thats a different problem)

thanks

Robin..

My old Renault 21 suffered similar problem. Likely to be the heater resistor 
pack. Three coils of wire mounted on a circuit board which is (on the 
Renault 21 anyway) situated within the heater fan motor housing. Above the 
front nearside footwell, below the glove box. Mended it a couple of times by 
reconnecting the burned out bits but it kept blowing. Frightening when the 
car fills with white smoke from under the dashboard coupled with smell of 
frying electrics.
Breakers yard for replacment part I guess.

Mine has also gone in a Laguna. Only works on setting number 4.
When my car was in the garage for something unrelated they told me it was a
common fault in Renaults.
Can't help but would be interested in knowing the problem and fix.

They all do that sir!

found it steven

its in the fan assembly under the bonnnet.

this has to removed first than you can split the case

cost of resistor is 30 (however another renault garage quoted me 60 for 
the same part !)

I take it that is for the Espace? Is it easily recognisable?
I'll have a look tomorrow at my Laguna and if I can't find it I'll re post
on this NG as I think this post will be well buried!!

Cheers
