Confused about which part needed

naughtysmurf

The heater in our 05 Megane saloon stopped working in position 1,2 & 3 but worked away in position 4 (Hi). Yesterday position 4 stopped also so now have no blower at all.
I'm told I need a heater motor resistor pack but is it this type

As far as I can remember the first one is for a car with digital display and AC - I think after about 2006 .
The second one was used in the pre 2006 - these had had a rotary control for the blower and sounds like what you have ; this was how they usually failed also - first speeds 1,2,3 (as they were fed through the resistor pack) and eventually no 4 failed also .
This was the case with the Renault Grand Scenic so I would imagine the Megane etc would be similar .
Your best option would be to ask a dealer - they should be able to tell you which one is fitted from the reg .
Hope this helps

The digital climate control vs manual aircon is a spec difference rather than age.

Thanks for the replies, it would seem to be one in the second link ok after looking myself underneath the glovebox and looking at some Renault docs

€120 + vat at Renault dealer, €30 ish of ebay

You should take the old one out and look at the loom too, not sure about Renaults but Peugeots have a habit of melting and burning the connector where the resistor plugs in. If the connector is burned then it gets messy. I had to buy a new resistor and then cut the connector off the loom and then solder the 5 wires directly to the pins on the resistor. It was a pig but was better than replacing the entire loom.

Yeah, same with the Renaults I believe
