Possibly a burnt out connection, its very common. There was a design fault, too much current through the connector. If you've not looked already there are a ton of threads on the subject over on Renault Forums http://www.renaultforums.co.uk/ , look for a long one which has pictures of a DIY fix. Its a pain though - a Renault dealer would take the dash off and charge £500+ but if you've got skinny hands you might get access through a dash panel. It involves soldering in a section of replacement loom and a new resistor I think so quite tricky. My Scenic only has 2 fan speeds left.......

My son bought a 54 plate Scenic recently, the warranty included heater matrix and pipework etc, but specifically excluded the switch and resistor. Oh yes, they know it's a common problem all right. When the 4th speed packed up, after a month, the dealer said it would cost $400 (pound sign not working) for them to do it, or they could arrange for a local auto electrical shop to do it for #200. So off it went to the local electrical shop. Now, #200 less well off, all is well.
