Electronic incident warning light

[trueblueangel]

I have a Renault Megane Scenic RT (1998 - R reg). The Electronic incident warning light comes on sometimes but becoming more frequent. Only once the car would not start, called breakdown recovery who thought it was a flat battery (was not this). He disconnected a sensor on the top of the gearbox and then the car started. Now when the warning light comes on, my husband disconnects and cleans out and waits approx. 5 mins then starts the car, which starts fine. Warning light goes out but may come on after a short time or it could be days or weeks. It effects the gear change as it is an automatic gearbox. The revs are a lot higher.
Any advice?
Thanks.

The reason the previous post never had a response is probably because this forum is quite specific to the Renault 4. Most of us don't even have any kind of electronic warning lights in our cars! You might be lucky though, there are a few people with more up-to-date knowledge here.
