04 Scenic 11 Heater Resistor.

HI ALL,
Just had the dubious pleasure of having a Scenic 2
heater resistor to replace. If you carefully prize away the
bezel on the instrument panel and remove 2 torx screws
holding the instuments in place.Behind this through a gap
in the dash ..look to the left and you will see the resistor unit fixed to the air box with one torx screw, there is a
multiplug with several wires fixed to this, it is possible to remove plug socket and the resistor although a bit fiddly.
The main blower motor feed and earth wires also go from resistor to blower motor on left hand side , behind lower dash glovebox so removal of lefthand lower dash may be necessary.
In the case i,m working on the multiplug has melted and a terminal burnt away . A new resistor is needed and also a small section of wiring loom with plug, this is a modified
section of wiring supplied by Renault so they are aware
of problems in this area.
Hope that this may help others to fix Scenic 2 blower faults.
PLEASE REMEMBER TO DISCONNECT BATTERY BEFORE DOING
ANY ELECTRICAL REPAIRS AND FIRST NOTE RADIO CODE.

Hi KAYJAY,

reading this post have been very helpful but I was wondering whether you could guide me through or let me know where I can find step-by-step instructions for getting to the heater resistor on a 2006 scenic II?

Any help will be greatly received.

 

Re: 04 Scenic 11 Heater Resistor.

please could you anybody help the heater resistor plug has compleatly melted off and the new harness only has purple wires on it so i dont no which purple wire to join to which colour wire of the exsisting harness sceanic 15dci 2006 thankyou

 

Hi Burny,
I Have now changed several of these wiring looms with all purple wires (WELL DONE RENAULT).
Simply make sure you have both multi plugs the same way up and cut and join/crimp one wire at a time using the metal joiners provided, the plastic covers are then shrunk with a heat gun to seal and strengthen the joint,You will note that the new wiring
has two wires to some terminals , these still join to the appropriate single wire you have cut.This job at first seems daunting but now is routine for me ,i have repaired loads, make sure you fit a new resistor unit.Hope this helps.
p.s Cant believe Renault making them looms all the same colour....How amateur is that !!!!!!

Speed 1 and 2 do not work on my Scenic II so I assume it is the resistor pack or loom. eBay has a few resistor packs for around £65, will these come with the wiring I need, the photo shows some wiring...

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Renault-Sceni...on-fault-/130474582923?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item1e60e4238b

 

just picture there is no plug there at all just 5 different coloured wires witch need to be joined to about 8 purple wires and you will see my problem no old plug to go off

 

Hi Burny, not sure I understand what you mean? Are you talking about the eBay advert?

 

Does anyone have a cheap source for these parts? Renault quoted me £96 +VAT and I have seen the resistor pack and loom together on ebay for £95 plus £5 postage.
I did speak to customer services and asked if they could subsidize the cost at all as it seems to be a common fault. Big fat NO!

 

Renault will fix the fault for £298 inclusive, which although a lot of money, if you had a VW or Audi you would be very happy about! None-the-less I will be doing it myself as my whole reason for getting a Renault was to get a cheap car...

 

They quoted me over £400 to do the work. As I explained to the nice lady from customer services, I want to do the work myself so that a: I know its done properly, b: the car won't come back with more faults than it went in with and c: I can do it in an evening without any need for dropping the car off and picking it up again from my nearest dealer 20 miles away.

 

just read your thread ..as my renault grand scenic 2007 heater wont work at all, just purchased new new heater resistor should be here tomorrow 18/12.Going to try and fit it myself based on your unfo,as the garage want £75 to do it, hope i can and save some cash, any advice would be great regards Jon

 

Hi,

We also have a 2006 Grand Scenic and the heater blower is no longer working.

I found a very basic you tube video on this. I would like a more comprehensive guide if anyone has it?

Please help : freezing missus = earache

I have tried to rech it but you must have small hands to do it.

 

Just done my Grand Scenic 2006 after testing and seeing fuse on the resistor was still working and no sign of overheating

Simply removed the dial facia surround and pushed lcd panel to one side. Unscrewed single screw holding the resistor unit in place. Cut the 2 wires andthem simply crimped them on to the replacement unit from ebay £12

Job done with in 18 minutes and all for £12........ No more freezing missus

 

Hi
I have the same problem
I replaced the resistor heater worked forma,couple of weeks then stopped all together, then investigated and replaced the connector to the resistor, but still isn't working.
Checked all fuses and they are fine, do I need to replace the resistor again????

 

Ideally you need to test the resistor pack using a meter - check for voltage and resistance at each termnal.

I take it you have checked the cabin filter?

 

no not checked cabin filter not a clue where that is

 

Hello Renault forums. I have just successfully fitted the resistor and loom to my 05 Renault grand scenic. While working in the small gap next to the dashboard display I have encountered a problem however. A very small plug its wires wrapped in foam that was connected deep behind the dashboard has come disconnected.I cannot feel where to replace it neither do I know what it is for can anybody help.
Thanks in advance Bryan

Did you get any response about the wire, as I have the same issue.....

 

Check if Temperature display on radio has stopped.
Speedo working?

 

Hi nottnoc Thankyou. Just tried them and both seem ok. Also checked light sensor water sensor and all interior electrics. And while looking at the dash display all seems fine. Could it be a wire for something my model doesn't have?
Regards Bryan

It could indeed.
Lets hope some other "experts" Happen by & can shed some light on this.

 

Radio stalk controls maybe ?

 

Thank you batfink5. Tried them out this morning and they are functioning correctly. Very puzzling ??
Regards Bryan

 

if its thin, maybe 1/2 inch in length, less than a 1/4 in width. This could possibly then, what gets fitted to a 6 disc cd player, the player can go below the radio ...

 

Yes ours2012 it is small like that with very thin wires that have foam folded over them. Wish I'd taken a picture.
Regards Bryan

 

Yes that wire only is used if a cd player fitted under the radio. it fits the CD player.
Push it back around out of the way,, dont let it worry you
