SM3 Defrost Flap Fault

Renault SM3 2014 electric, 182093 km. Defrost air distribution flap faulty. Error stored, heating output low. Suspect cable or plug. Anyone seen this?

Summary of the thread

The conversation centers around a defrost air distribution flap fault in a 2014 Renault SM3, leading to low heating output. The suspected cause is a faulty cable or plug. A similar issue in a 2016 Opel Astra was resolved by addressing a dodgy connection in the climate control unit. The suggested solution is to have a workshop diagnose and repair the wiring issue, which was confirmed and repaired for 95€.

Could be. Had similar on a 2016 Opel Astra. Air distribution was all messed up. Blower motor seemed fine. Did you check the dashboard panel for obstructions?

Checked the panel, nothing obvious. How did you finally fix the Astra's ventilation system?

Turned out to be a dodgy connection. Climate control unit was throwing codes. Best to check with a workshop to pinpoint the exact wiring issue.
