Kangoo Heater Problem(s)

So the Kangoo has a heater problem.

Its either one thing or two or three depending on other things.

Anyway, the heater only blows on speed 4, nothing on 1,2,3. So unscrewed the 4 torx headed screws and had a look at the switch.

Upon removing the 6 pin connector I found one of the pins had melted and moved slightly so causing a loose connection. So both the switch and the connector are burnt.

Now the switch panel itself is avaible on ebay (maybe even new) but I cant find a 6 pin connector for it.

I could just find the wires that run the fan and have it connected to a on/off switch so its either on full power or off.

But before I do that, are their any websites where I will find a renault 6 pin connector for sale other than dealer?

There is GSF, German Swedish, French car parts, maybe worth giving them a buzz, or a breaker?

Nothing on euro or gsf.

Breakers want £30 just for switch panel not inc the connectors at the back.

No local breakers have a kangoo in.

Yup, I have that one in my ebay saved.

Its the connector at the back that has melted so need that as well.

Ive used parts gateway service to find parts from breakers around the country

Looks like thats the route I will have to go.

Just googled and cant find a renault parts list online so cant find/match the connector.

Oh well.

Maybe worth a call to GSF and see if they can give you a part number and then see if the part numbers match any other Renault cars?

Clio of same age, non-ac, 1.9 derv.

Share alot of the same mech and electrical.

However, I do think the heater controls are different shape.

Renault are dropping off a new heater resistor tomorrow hopefully.

Think thats the reason why the connector/wiring is over heating.

Well i fitted a new resistor, its not that.

So now its time to either spend £35-£40 on a 2nd hand heater control panel or fit a simple on/off switch.

I only need it to de-mist the screen.
