Check all it's connections, especially check earth connections. Otherwise unplug it so it doesn't drain the battery and buy a road map.
Sorry if that's pessimistic but I've heard some sad tales about Renault electrics.

Go to an independent local garage and ask them to scan the vehicle.

As with a lot of things in life.... It's who you know NOT what you know....
If you regularly use a local Wholesaler... 99.99999% of the time you will get better deals than if you randomly walk into a new supplier and expect a good deal..
I personally think vehicle supply, servicing & maintenance is just the same...
Way back in 1995 we bought a second-hand Renault Espace as we had a whole tribe of kids and needed a seven-seater...
In 1998 I was made redundant... Then in 1999 decided to go self employed...
In 2003 we needed a replacement 7-seater..
AND I was now working as a sole trader.. (started self employment in Feb 1999)..
Local Renault dealer sales-bod pointed out I could get a much bigger discount on a new purchase if I bought it as a "company" vehicle compared to a "private" vehicle..
(Even as a sole trader.. didn't need to be Ltd etc..)
Local Renault dealer is 10mins walk up the road from home...
Bought brand new Espace from them with "company-discount" back in 2003...
Continued with all servicing etc.. and changed vehicles since then...
And been happy with all cost & quality of work etc...
Bottom line is....
Build up a good reputation with a local provider and I think you will get good value for money!
Weather its a franchised dealer or independent garage...
for the things you cannot sort yourself.. Build up good local contacts!!
Plus if you are running a business vehicle cost are a tax overhead...
So spending a tad-more to keep it running can be more cost-effective getting it sorted professionally.
