Modus audio system dead

My 2010 Renault Modus diesel's audio system is completely dead. The display is blank, no sound, nothing. The mechanic suspects the display itself is defective. Has anyone else had this issue? It's driving me nuts!

Sounds familiar! I've got a Modus too. Had a similar thing happen – radio just died. Check the wiring harness behind the head unit. Renault wiring can be a bit like spaghetti sometimes.

Spaghetti wiring, haha, I get that! Where exactly should I be looking for the harness? Is it easy to get to, or do I need to dismantle half the dashboard?

The harness is behind the radio unit itself. Honestly, unless you're handy with that sort of thing, I'd suggest getting a pro to look at it. Could be a loose connection, could be a fried display. Mine ended up being the display, cost a bomb to fix, unfortunately. Best take it to the workshop.

Thanks for the advice! Sounds like I'm heading to the workshop then. They quoted me 725€, so fingers crossed it fixes the problem. Appreciate the heads up!
