Clio electrical issues
Summary of the thread
A 2019 Renault Clio diesel is experiencing electrical issues, including a 'service required' fault message and random error lamps. The audio and navigation systems are particularly affected, sometimes cutting out or becoming unresponsive. A similar issue was resolved by addressing a faulty cable connection on the control unit's BUS system. It is recommended to have a professional workshop inspect and repair the vehicle.

Yes, a loose connection sounds plausible! Where exactly did you suspect the defective connection was? I'm trying to gauge if it's something I could potentially tackle myself or if I should just take it to a workshop.

Well, I'm no expert, but in my case, the garage traced it back to a dodgy cable connection on the control unit itself – apparently, the connection to the BUS system was faulty. Honestly, unless you're super confident with electrical systems, I'd seriously consider letting a professional take a look. I ended up getting it sorted at a workshop.

Thanks a lot for the insight. I'll definitely take it to a workshop then. Considering your experience, it seems like the safest bet. I appreciate you sharing your experience!

Whoa, that sounds familiar! I had something like that happen with my Clio – not sure what year yours is, but mine did the same thing. Radio would just die, sat nav would freeze, and then everything would come back on like nothing happened. Did it feel like a loose connection, maybe?
