Problems with the door lock and lights on the Renault Trafic Diesel 2018 - experiences and solutions

Vehicle cannot be unlocked or locked

Dim or flickering lights

Hey guys, I have a question. My Renault Trafic Diesel from 2018 is doing strange things: I can no longer unlock or lock the car and the lights flicker or are dark. I somehow suspect that the fault could be with the exterior door handle electronics. Have any of you ever had similar problems and how did you get them solved in the workshop? I would really appreciate your experience and tips.

Hello, I had a similar problem with my Renault Trafic Diesel 2016. At that time, the control unit was defective. I'm not a car professional, but I would describe my knowledge as average. I then went to my regular garage and had the control unit replaced there - it cost me around 600 euros. However, the exact symptoms can vary depending on the year and model. Can you give us some more information about your vehicle? Things like mileage or whether you have recently replaced anything could help to narrow down the fault a little more precisely. Hopefully things will improve soon with your Trafic!

Hey, thanks for your reply! The mileage is 79643 km and the last inspection was about 4 months ago. No parts have been replaced or repaired. Do you still think it could be the control unit? The 600 euros would be annoying, but if it helps, then it's a must. Cheers!

Hey, no problem, you're welcome! With your additional information and my own experience, it is quite possible that there is a problem with the control unit, especially at this mileage. However, it would of course be best if you took it to a specialist in a workshop. They can check this specifically for your vehicle and confirm or rule it out. Unfortunately, I can't tell you one hundred percent whether it's the control unit in your case, because every case is a little different. In my opinion, however, it sounds like it is. The 600 euros were well spent on my car because the problem hasn't occurred since. Hopefully this will help you. Good luck with your Trafic!

Hey, thanks for the helpful tip! I'd better go to the garage and have the control unit checked. Of course, it would be great if I could get it fixed afterwards. I hope the costs remain roughly in line with your estimate. Have a good day and thanks again for your help!
