The Mégane II Owners' Club

Hi

I am getting power to my cigarette lighter socket but the orange illumination ring is not lighting up at night with the headlights on. I know there is a bulb within the assembly, does anybody know what type of bulb it is? Just want to get one before I take the lighter socket out.

Tony

Hi,

I have known in the past that a car battery in poor condition can cause issues with the megane electrical system. How old is your car battery?

Hi

Is there any windows open?

Is there a fly/moth/bug in the car?

Hi

Have you tried the fuse.

I believe drivers and front passenger have separate fuses and the passenger ones have one fuse for both.

Hi

Hi,

Yes I used the same guy via ebay. I got mine repaired 18 months ago and is still going strong. I sent it and got it back 36 hours later.

Hi,

Could be your main car battery on the way out.

Hi,

Try the window reset:-

If not then it could be your regulator.

Hi,

The guy off ebay waterproofs it so it does not happen again. He puts heatshrink over it in order to stop water ingress.

Hi,

It will be the window regulator module.

Chap on Ebay repairs them, he does a damn good job aswell.

See below topic:-

Had mine done by him. Sent it off and got it back with 48 hours.

Hi,

My front passenger window stopped working. I used the same guy to repair my module. I had it back in 48 hours and it worked a treat. It cost me £30.

Hi,

Just found what it is for. It is a seat position sensor for the airbag. It will vary the airbag inflation depending on the drivers seat position.

Page 222 explains it.

Hello,

Found the same plug loose under my driver's seat and reconnected it. I had no warning lights. Does anybody know what it is for?

Weird

Hi,

Could you have dirt on a sensor?

Just a thought. If you had a duff sensor then you would get an ABS caption but wondering if some grit or grime could give you your symptoms at low speeds.
