1995 renault espace cabin fan control unit !!!

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. DaveK.

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 !)

robin..

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
