Megane 2 cabin air fan again!
Posted: Sun Feb 05, 2017 6:55 am
Hello everyone, I think a lot has been covered on this topic but I am still struggling to find out what I think I need.
The cabin air (aircon/ heating) fan in my 2009 Megane 1.9 diesel right hand drive sedan, has suddenly and completely died. I was driving the city today in 36 celsius and about 90% humidity so this is a pretty sticky issue to say the least. When I last used the car, about a week ago, it was all fine. The aircon by the way has never seemed overly effective and I had planned to have it checked at next service. Step one was the check the fuse, which looked fine.
From what I am reading, it seems the most likely culprit is the resistor. I also read that this usually means the fan may sometimes still work on high but not on lower settings. It seems that if not the resistor, then it may be the control switch or finally the fan unit itself.
So, I am thinking to replace the switch first, if that is not it, then replace the resistor, and if thats not it, the fan motor unit. If thats not it, I shall go and abuse my neighbour, never liked him much anyway.
Can anyone please tell me if I have this right? Renault dealers here are horrifically expensive here, of course....
Thanks in advance, Cooper.
