Movano Heating Issue

My 2012 Renault Movano diesel has inadequate heating. At 154290 km, diagnostic interrogation reveals a fault pertaining to the defrost air distribution flap. I suspect a defective cable or plug connection. Anyone encountered a similar predicament with the climate control system, potentially involving the dashboard panel or HVAC unit?

Ah, a familiar tale! My experience lies with a 2016 Opel Vivaro, I encountered a similar gremlin affecting my temperature regulation. The symptoms you describe and the error code resonate with my own trials. Did you perhaps consider inspecting the relevant fuses and relays before delving deeper into the ventilation system itself?

I did indeed examine the fuses and relays, and they appear to be in good order. Could you elaborate on the specifics of your Opel Vivaro issue? Were there any particular connectors or wiring looms that proved problematic?

In my Vivaro's case, it ultimately turned out to be a faulty stepper motor controlling the air distribution flap. It wasn't throwing the same error code you mentioned, but the symptoms were identical. Given you've checked the obvious electrical culprits, it might be wise to have a workshop assess the component directly. My repair amounted to approximately 95€, which might give you a ballpark figure to expect. It may be a similar issue.

I appreciate your shared experience and prudent counsel. Based on your recommendation, I shall endeavor to have the air distribution flap and associated stepper motor professionally assessed. Thank you for shedding light on this matter.
