Renault Megane Scienic 2004 - Key card fault - Fixed #

Posted by Jamie Lambert on November 21, 2010, 3:14 pm

Year of Manufacture *: 2004

Hi all
Got the above vehicle at a customers house non start, insert the key card and nothing happens just says on the dash key card not inserted. Looked in the archieves and there is quite alot of faults with the cards but i understand the card readers can give bother as well. Fault coded the interconnection unit but no fault codes. Any advice would be most appreicated.

Regards Jamie

Is the steering lock on?

Hi Jamie. Remove the card housing and a good look at it.
You will probably find a Small lug broken or worn down ,this is what the card makes contact with to switch on system.

Hi all
Sorry for late reply, thank you for your replies. The ignition lock is on, no fault codes stored. As somebody has mentioned the card readers aren't that expensive dealer price is about £46 + vat. I will remove the reader when i get chance, are they much of a job? Thanks very much for replies much appriceated.

Regards Jamie

Hi Jamie
You probably have a faulty card. Ask if there is a spare to try. If not Then try putting the card half way in and try bending the card to one side and then the other { or up/down on Megan } while watching the dash if it changes from insert card to press brake or clutch it will then start and you will have proved the card is faulty.It may take a lot of attempts. There are no switches in the card reader unlike the Laguna so hardly any thing to go wrong. unlikely to be the reader very likely to be the card. Renault can test the cards off the car and i think some key cloning machines can see the card code if its OK also.

Past experience on these repaired cards. It will only last a couple of months.
