Fluence Rear Ventilation Issue

I have a 2015 diesel Renault Fluence with 227445 km. The air conditioning has stopped cooling, and my diagnostic tool shows an error about the rear ventilation flap. The climate control struggles to direct the air. Has anyone else dealt with this?

That sounds familiar! I had a similar issue with my Fluence. Is the air circulation messed up specifically for the rear passengers? It might be a simple air distribution problem, but a climate control unit issue is different. Have you checked if all the plugs are properly connected?

Yes, it's definitely the back that's suffering the most. The front seems okay. Where should I look for those plugs? I'm no mechanic, but I can follow instructions. Is it behind the glove box, or under the back seat?

Knowing it's mainly the back points to that rear vent issue. I wouldn't tear apart the dashboard yourself, unless you want electrical problems. My error memory pointed to a defective cable, and that's what it was! Visit a workshop to check the cable or plug connection of the rear vent flap motor before it drives you nuts!

Thanks for confirming my suspicions. A shop visit is in order. The estimate I got was around 95€, so it's not too bad. At least I can tell them what to look for! I appreciate the help.
