vision fld/low beam
« on: 22 April 2011, 11:49:28 »

I`ve got the warning `vision fld/low beam` on my MFD, is there any way to tell if it`s the sensor or adjusters that have failed.
When I park on my drive on a night, it`s on a slight incline, the headlamps go up and down like they can`t make their minds up where to rest and I`ve also had someone flash at me as though I`ve got full beam on.

TIA  :)

Visually check the sensors, esp front.  If both lights are going mental together, that points more to sensor than servos :y

Yeah both lights go mental together, it`s quite funny watching them sometimes.
Next question: Is there just the sensor on the N/S wishbone or are there some more for each headlight?

Good point, When I changed the wheel bearing I noticed the the vertical bush had started splitting so I`m gonna do both of these anyway so I`ll not start swapping sensors until I`ve done them.

The sensors are linked by ball joints so can't see worn wishbone bushed affecting them
