Renault modus steering wheel removal - Cars & Trucks

key won't turn (off to run) the key is frozen in the off position?

makes sure tires front are not against a curb hard.
or the steering lock for key is bad.
wrong key
try 2nd key that came new with car ,yet?

turn the key clockwise, gently and wiggle the steering roughly and it unlocks and key moves. to on.

First examine the key for damage. This could also be the steering lock working. Try turning the steering wheel as you turn the key. Some Renaults do have issues with keys so it might get to a point where you will need to replace the ignition barrel and the key. Unfortunately it's not cheap!

no not the dreaded renault ,best advice is to trade it in quick ,This vehicle has electric power steering located under the dash ,Now what happens is that some little unskilled youknowhat in kwikfit or wherever has realigned the tracking so the steering wheel is not level as they only adjusted one track rod end ,this upsets the software on the power steering motor ,this causes the unit to fail which means a reconditioned unit about 600euros but it can only be fitted in a renault garage as they are the only people with the software to reset the unit after it has been fitted ,no re-programmed then it will go wrong within 500kms .go and get a ford focus or a VW /skoda ,never no problems with these cars but this make are hell for us mechanics .try changing the clutch ?? its quicker and easier to lift the g/box and engine out in one

Sometimes you have to remove the front wheel and get at the filter through the opening.

Could this help? It's not from Modus, but similarities may help you...

1. Park the car with the steering wheel centered and the wheels straight ahead. 2. Locate and remove the "Airbag" or "SRS" fuse in the passenger side fusebox. There is more than one fuse for the airbag system, so I like to start the car after step 2 to verify the Airbag light in the dash remains lit. This way you know for sure that you pulled the correct fuse.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With great difficulty to be honest ,try changing the starter motor just for fun
now the water bottle is behind the front bumper so take out the inner plastic wheel arch ,try doing anything to a renault modus even giving a jump start will make the power steering motor lose its memory and then its a 600euro job to get it sorted and renault garage will insist on a new one then programming adding up to well over a 1000euros .My favourite make of vehicle a renault ? i think not come back the ford cortina or a humber hawk
