Heya guys!
Been a bit of a lurker for a while, but this is my first post, asking for advice... my bad :devil:
Anyway.
My Mk3 Megane just had it's first MOT (59 plate). Flew through everything, which was kind of expected to be fair - apart from my left and right number plate lights not working!
To be fair, when I did my 'check-the-lights-the-night-before' test - I completely neglected to check them!
Anyway:
The garage tried changing the bulbs - no joy.
The guys said they either had to 'take out the battery to get to the fuse box' to check to see if it's a fuse issue. However I had to rush to work and took the car with me (I can go back for a free retest in next 10 days).
They checked the glovebox fuses to no joy, and they claimed there was a 'third fuse box' which they didn't know about (?!) and recommended I take it to a Renault dealer under warranty (Warranty runs till next Saturday)
This, coming from my regular MOT garage i've been to a few years - a former Renault official place themselves.
Now I've done a load of trawling online - you'd think this car doesn't even exist! There seems to be hardly any info on the car anyway, especially when it comes to bits like this.
They also said it 'could be a fault in the wiring' too.
Currently booked into Renault Swansea for friday (earliest possible slot, typical).
Just wanted to know if there is a mythical 3rd fuse box for me to check out - or any further infomation would be absolutely amazing. I can only find a fuse schematic for the glovebox fuses and nothing else.
Begrudging going to Renault for them to turn around and say it's probably 'not under warranty' and charge goodness knows much for the privelidge.
Thanks to everyone for your time... I'll go and pop my face into the introduce myself section now too :d
