Hi Guys
Hope someone can help me.
I made an attempt last week to replace my side light bulbs. I only managed to change the offside as the nearside one was to small a gap tp get my hand in, suppose I'll have to take out the battery?
Anyway since then I have had "Low Beam Fld/Vision" coming up on the display every time I start the car. It's driving me nuts >:(
I've had a look to see if I have dislodged any connectors but can't see anything obvious, but to no avail.
The car is Face lift with Xenon bulbs and self leveling.
Can anyone advise me please
-
Check the connector to the leveling motor on the side where you replaced the bulb....failing that, check the front and rear level sensors

Thanks for a quick response :y
Is that the one with the flex cable with a rubber boot entering sideways into the plastic housing?

No, that sounds like the HID feed....the motor is further down.
-
Is there any diagrams anywhere on these lights?
They look a bit testicle to me. :o

mark is that the link arm on front wishbone that links to the sensor :question

cheers - only reason i ask is that on a previous omega i had that had completely snapped and kept dropping off the wishbone causing the same fault to appear on MID :exclamation
thanks alex

Actually I beleive Mark is talking about this.......

The headlight levelling motor which bayonets into the rear of the headlight.

Correct, the thinking being that the fault occured when this area had been visited.
The most common cause of the sensors to fail is the pivot arm shown seizing up, mine get well lubricated and greased to prevent this!

Can item 13 - the link arm - be purchased separately? Mine has snapped.

Yes it can and it just bolts onto the trailing arm/wishbone bracket and the sensor arm :y
-
Thanks for the advice guys. :y
It's P***ing down in Manchester at the moment. For a change. ::)
I'll have another check of the connections, when it stops.
The fault warning started immeadiatly after replacing the bulbs. I must have disturbed something. I hope.

Hi Guys
I'm still having problems with my annoying warning."Low Beam Fld/Vision" :(
I have had the lights out and checked all the connections, all seems okay. I cant see whitch item Mark suggested checking, Is it similar to the black plastic rectangular box with rounded corners, just below the indicater bulb holder?
If so I cant see how it comes off?
What is driving me mad is all I did was replace the side light bulbs, which is over on the far Left. I could only get my hand in as far as the rubber cover.
The fault doesnt show straight after turning on the engine, it flags up within about 100 yds of driving off.
Any suggestions please.
Offside Headlight from rear

The levelling motor is arrowed - it just twists anticlockwise on a bayonet to release...................

Just out of interest, you haven't jacked the car up recently have you?
-
Thanks for your help M8
No, not jacked the car up at all recently.
The Fault Warning started immeadiatly (the first time I drove the car) after I had changed the Offside side light bulb with difficulty and attempted to change the nearside, but gave up because I couldn't even pull the rubber cover off, because the gap was to small for my hand.
Both side light bulbs had been blown for some time. one of those jobs you think I must get those sorted and a few weeks later you get around to it.
Wish now I hadn't :(
The only part of the light assembley I could have disturbed at the time is what appears to be the head light feed cable with the rubber boot on it as I was trying to replace the side light bulb. But I have checked those connections and they look good. :-/

Would you mind just checking the level sensor is still attached to the wishbone? Front and rear passenger side, just peep through between the door and the wheel. Its a 2 second job and might save you a load of agro pulling your lights apart. We can stop bothering you with it then. It will be a hell of a coincidence tho, unless the side light check was masking the field of vision warning?

same prob as me lol

thx Mark and alex. :y
I agree with Chris - easy to check and they seem to have a tendency to come off , or snap in my case >:(
