Simply step by step how do to do it.
thx

You will need a socket with pretty much extension

Light switch does not work and there is no power in cigarette lighter

Disconnect the power source wire

Removed armrest compartment

Two extra bolt under plastic covers

Check the plug for rust

Light switch

1 of the electrical lamellae is snapped, to small to precise to be fixed so it has to be replaced (not worth it)

Now it is time for cigarette lighter socket:

Needs to be cleaned

Time for a test

It works

Likes and comment are welcome ;)

Code Card not detected, code card error, card not detected Renault Scenic Megane, how to start car with code card problem, how to fix code card???

I heard about it,
I read about
and finally...
my car "gave" me a chance to experience it...

Another favorite malfunction that Renault like to treat their owners.
Not far away (2km) from our house we have a nice gym. My wife went to the club and I was preparing dinner.
Phone rang and she said she cannot start the car. Central locking was working, however car did not see the card. Actually it saw the card however did not recognize it in order to switch the ignition and start the car...

On the way to I picked up a piece of packaging after some crisps(chips) or chocolate. As you can se below very dirty.

I wrapped the card and inserted it into ignition pocket

and my car was ready to go

Do NOT insert any screwdrivers or flat knives etc. You will only damage the card's pocket. A piece of aluminium foil is enough and works great to (I believe) boost the signal from card (for example from chocolate bar)
