Renault espace phase 1 headlights

I notice that you say that the answers are not helpful.
All I have to say is you should never REMOVE the card keys whale the engine still running from it decking position.
My Renault respace Grand, we never use the key in it card reader.
Has long you have the card with you. You should be able to start the vehicle just by pressing the started/stop button.
If this is not carry out correctly.
You are messing with your immobiliser Plus the engine management.
Even when we leave the vehicle it will automatic lock itself, New card key for this type of vehicle are very costly.
I should mention that it would better to have it around your neck for save keeping not damage it.
So one more time always if you want put the card in position first and press the start button. And NEVER TRY TO REMOVED THE CARD. WHALE THE ENGINE STILL RUNNING without switching off engine first FOOLS !1

headlight control unit switch. check this. has inbuilt relays. the one you turn to turn lights on.

hi. i have a renault espace that not start. i make the card in and only windows can i open. nothing else. i change the plastic of card reader and the same

Check the fuse box directly behind battery. Also check that the starter positive is not touching the body

Checked fuse ok / checked stalk ok / checked wires at stalk none cut / checked relay ok so where do I go from here?

change the ignition contact switch on the back of the ignition lock by the sound of it ,its renault espace one of the pains in my life ,have two customers with these headache machines and a er indoors the third headache .Ever tried getting parts for them from renault now thats another headache over 10 yrs old they do not sell spares

Broken wire at the stalk should be white remove the covers

sounds like the dreaded renault immobiliser ,in which case its dealer only as software encrypted.whats happening is the immobiliser is stopping it from starting when key is in start position cranking but it will go with a bump as starter motor key position not activated .try a wire from battery to small connector on starter motor .if it starts which i think it will then you know what to do ...old fashioned way with a push button.but are you getting prepared to lay the golden egg ???just in case

change the stalk control

I have a 2000 Espace and for years it has suffered from a non-start problem. It can be fine for ages and then, suddenly, there's nothing when you turn the ignition, not even a click. All instruments light up. It's not the battery. Does this sound familiar?

In my case, time and time again it has been what they call the 'firewire' connection on to the starter - the connection becomes corroded over time and fails to pass sufficient voltage.

If the terminal becomes too badly burned, where the voltage has arced because of a poor connection, apparently the only solution is to fit a new starter motor. But so far, in my case, it's just needed a clean of the connector and terminal.

By the way, holding the ignition key in the ON position for some time (30 seconds or more) can sometimes cause it to fire up.
