headlamp levelling dial
« on: January 07, 2014, 11:58:53 am »
Hi all and happy new year,

I think that my headlamp levelling dial next to the display brightness dial is not working - the headlights are not moving up or down.  They used to, but not know.   what can I check...is that on a separate fuse?

You checked in the handbook for the fuse panel diagram and fuse locations, I guess?

Fuse number 5 (5amp) is for headlight range control.

I can't help much more as I have xenons and don't have manual levelling.
Sarcasm for free. Anything after that can only be considered as a bonus.

Just because you think you know something, doesn't make you an expert if you've just read it on the internet, y'know.

If it's not the fuse, it could be the 'dial' itself. I had that happen on my old SAAB. A squirt of switch cleaner kept it going for a while, then I picked a replacement  one up on Ebay.
