Headlight aim warning can't turn off
« on: 30 January 2025, 18:54:34 »
This stems from I need to fix the adjuster thing on the LH wishbone for headlight aim. In the meantime whenever I get the warning I just tap the bottom left steering mounted switch to turn the warning off. Recently after the car being laid up for a bit over winter it now doesn't turn off when I click the switch, any ideas why it won't turn off now? Is this the car getting pissed off I'm not fixing it?!

Cheers

I had the whole arm off for refurb and never put sensor back and as was going to just try and replace the system. I might just put the switch back on for now.

I should have said leave the sensor off and hope it doesn't complain  :y

It will complain eventually.  2nd hand parts should make it a quick and easy fix, assuming its not just the arm has popped off

It has to be manually adjusted first, so that the automatic system can keep it aligned however the car is loaded.
