Hi barbs
I am unsure how to post to full site, just bought my daughter a wind 61 plate 1.2, cracking wee car , we have an issue the blowers are not working, I can't find any help online apart from maybe, it's the same as a twingo, the pre resistor seems to be the most common thing that comes up, any help appreciated

By heater I'm presuming you mean fan ? Does it work on any speed, renaults have an issue at times with the resistor, which manifests itself as working just on high speed.
If there's no fan working at all, you need to get to the blower motor connection, unplug it, see if you have a live feed there when it's switched on, if you do, it's likely a new blower motor.
N.B. sometimes giving the blower motor a tap with the head of a screwdriver or similar, gets them working again

Thanks big jase

So when I get a chance I will try this, it is not working at any speed, so now it's has anybody got a video on how to get in to it and what parts of the dash I need to dismantle

I think it’s located behind the centre of the dash and your best bet getting to it is from the passenger footwell.
On The Renault Wind Owners Club UK Facebook page it does say that most of the dash has to be removed. 🥲

I don't use face book but I'll get my daughter to go on, if you come across a video send a link or whatever my way

What’s your daughter’s first name so I can make sure she gets approved in the club as I’m the admin. It’s a lovely friendly club.
If she enters heater blower into the search at the top of the club page, there has been quite a bit of discussion over problems with the heaters on the Wind.

Nice her name is Jessica freck, I'll see her tomorrow so will get her to join

No problem! Either myself or Barbara will make sure she is accepted into the club.
It’s easier to share pictures on the Facebook group, so you can ask for tips and advice on there too with photos.
Hope you manage to get it sorted!
They are great cars and a future classic.

I'm sure I'll get it fixed with the help from experts
Yeah you don't see many on the road, and it's great round the little country roads
