Espace Terminal 30 Interruption

I had something similar with my Espace, though a different electrical component was affected. Intermittent power issues can be a real pain. Have you checked the fuse box thoroughly? Sometimes a partially blown fuse can cause weird behavior, allowing some current through but not enough for consistent operation. Think of it like a leaky pipe – you still get water, just not the full pressure. Also, consider the ignition switch itself; a faulty one can definitely cause interruptions in the continuous power supply. Check if there are any error codes.

Thanks. I did a visual inspection of the fuse box, but didn't methodically test each fuse under load. Which specific fuses should I prioritize given the Terminal 30 interruption? Is there a reliable way to test the ignition switch's integrity without sophisticated equipment?

Testing the fuses under load is key; a visual check often isn't enough. Consult your Espace's wiring diagram – it should identify which fuses are directly related to Terminal 30 and the ignition circuit. Without the diagram, you are sailing without a compass. Regarding the ignition switch, it's trickier. A multimeter can help you check for voltage drops across the switch in different positions, but it's not foolproof. Given the complexity and potential for further electrical damage, I'd strongly suggest taking it to a trusted Renault workshop. They have the proper diagnostic tools and expertise to pinpoint the exact source of the problem. It may be an electrical fault.

I appreciate the advice, particularly the emphasis on a methodical fuse test and the caution regarding the ignition switch. I've decided to schedule a diagnostic appointment with a Renault specialist. The intermittent nature of the fault suggests a deeper issue than I can resolve myself. For future reference, the issue was a defective battery, resulting in a repair cost of 290€. Thanks again.
