Renault Megane III (2011) - No response from the card reader, does not start

Question

Hello, I have a problem, the car after inserting the card into the reader does not respond (only the message is displayed: Turn the steering wheel + START but I have already tried it. The worst thing is that no counter-lights ignite when inserting the card (do not arm, hear the unlocking of the...

Battery full? If not, it could be something with a bolt.

Is any message showing up?

domeno1204 · Answer

Yes, charged. What do you mean bolt? Only if it was connected to the steering wheel lock, at least after inserting the card should I do a test of onboard systems, etc. and here I hear nothing

I added a photo in the attachment, was that what you meant?

domeno1204 · Answer

The only message that appears after inserting the card: Turn the steering wheel + START

Dawidson1996 · Answer

That was what my friend meant. I had such a case in Scenic. There was no response either, and the message was steering locked. And there is no characteristic buzz for unlocking the steering wheel?

domeno1204 · Answer

Well, there is no ticking, complete silence: /

Dawidson1996 · Answer

It could be this blockage

domeno1204 · Answer

And where is it more or less in?

Dawidson1996 · Answer

You need to remove the steering wheel cover underneath and there I will locate on the steering column. When you unscrew it, be careful because in Scenic I had a left-hand thread and I needed a torx t30 or t40 I don't remember exactly. But if the bolt is damaged, it should throw an error after connecting to the computer

Maybe instead of bombing half the car, a friend will connect the car to a sensible computer or check fuses at the beginning. Lock lock even if I take it out you must have 2 clean.

lukash3 · Answer

The test would not be complete. A broken lock will not let you through. You can still try to move the steering wheel, but after what you write, I bet on the bolt.

domeno1204 · Answer

After opening the door, the message: STEERING WHEEL LOCKED, but the rest unchanged, the fuses also checked, I will try to connect it to the computer and see

Added after 2 [hours] 30 [minutes]:

The mechanic said that if there is no ignition in the car, it will not be possible to check with a regular computer: /

I will add that the car stood in the garage for 3 days, the battery level dropped to low voltage (there was no discharging message), for safety I put another battery (functional) without any effects. The only thing that was done during these three days was a change of wheels, but it did not matter

domeno1204 · Answer

The problem is solved, the service is replacing the lock module with another one, used and programmed, the second matter is the replacement of the cable bundle that has broken due to friction

Thanks for the help
