heater not blowing / odometer + clock reset etc

Just new to forum - so would appreciate any help !

Megane 1.5 diesel heater/blower not working on any of the speed selections (not great in past weeks weather)

1)Checked fuses all at LH passenger side area . CAn t see one that relates to heater here?
Anyway will come back to this point later
i checked all fuses & reseated
Now radio is dead and odometer/trip resets itself every time ignition is turned as does time clock display?
I am hoping i can dig out the radio code which might get it operational
Any ideas what is causing the timclock /odometer resets?

2) Getting back to heater fuse location , i removed teh 2 torx screws under RH bonnet area. See all fuses but cant access? Any tricks here to assist?

Also tad worried what has initially caused blower to stop (may not even be fuse related) and subsequent other issues

Any help would be appreciated TREV.

Ultimately you might find the motor has burned out. The cause is usually overheating due to a blocked cabin filter. Check the resistor pack if your car has manual blower controls. Sounds fuse related though.

Is it in passenger compartment or under bonnet in that nasty corner ....?
What rating of fuse is it?
