First job of the new batch. Testing and unfortunately replacing the high level brake light on Clara the Clio.
Also the discovery of a possible cause... anyone else's boot struts gone this bad?

Hi.
Have Renault scanic 3 2010.
Got 8.5 volts out of the socket.
The other side back break lights works fine.
And it’s on all the time even when I don’t press the breach paddle.

Nice vid as always! Thankfully my third light is working on my clio 2 so far. Can't say that about my radiator fan lol. Changed basically everything that can trigger it but still nothing. You got an idea in my head with the multimeter. I'll disconnect radiator temp sensor and I'll watch the voltmeter.

[@SocketsAndSideburns]

Let us know how you get on, non operational fans on these can get quite involved.

Thank you. It was useful for me.

Hoping you might know. Do you have any idea how Renault techs got the “basic workshop manual 345” for the Clio 2 with F4R engines?? I’ve been trying to find out how to get a copy for years. Thanks!

[@SocketsAndSideburns]

I'm afraid I don't know.

[@SocketsAndSideburns]

Hello, why do you want to disconnect it permanently?

[@suzanneyoung2418]

@@SocketsAndSideburns the top half of it fell off on the motorway now none of my break lights work and I can’t find a replacement 😢

[@suzanneyoung2418]
