Clio Hybrid Climate Control Failure

My 2023 Renault Clio Hybrid (55392 km) climate control panel has failed. Error memory shows a fault, heating is weak, and AC won't engage. Suspect a defective cable or plug. Anyone seen this? Repair is estimated at 95€, which seems fair, but I want more info.

I had a similar issue with my Clio. Sounds like a loose or corroded connector in the HVAC wiring. It's common. Have you checked the connectors to the control panel, blower motor, and compressor relay? A bad connection can cause errors and system malfunction.

When you had this, did the diagnostic point to a connector fault, or was it a process of elimination? Any specific diagnostic codes?

The diagnostic didn't pinpoint the connector, just a generic HVAC error code. I used a multimeter and checked continuity. Take it to a good shop. They should diagnose it. Electrical issues can be tough to track down.

Thanks. I told the workshop, and it was a cable or plug connection issue. Final repair cost was 95€, as predicted. Your insights confirmed my suspicions.
