Hi, I have been thinking, what if it pops off again. Sounds like a good fix to me. Thankyou for your input.

a little retrofit question.. will i be able to retrofit on my facelift headlight adjusters from an 1999 omega?? they are slightly different

Hi all,

Is there definately two sensors? I can see the one at the front, and that's looks OK. I can't see the one on the back, has anyone got a photo?

Is there any way of checking these are working? all th bolts, screws etc on the front one are solid as a rock, so I can't see i'm going to get it off without breaking it.

Alternatively, is there any way of fooling the system into sticking the lights in the middle?

thanks

O course we're sure  . A duff sensor looks the same as a good sensor  It's on the rear radius arm, towards the front, it's exactly the same sensor, just different bracket.

You need a code reader to determine exactly what has failed. Soak everything in a GOOD penetrating fluid ie Plusgas a couple of days before you start.

Pass  :-/ but I doubt it

just fixed my omega headlight adjuster.. it was nothing wrong with it ). two inches from the socket probably a mouse chewed on the wire and it was snapped . i even bought some adjusters from a breaker  . check for your wires too when this happens.

That's a result.

That's a result.   

yes it is.. and its been bugging me for a year but untill i took the matter into my own hands no results came off

If you want it done properly..... Do it yourself.

Have checked both sensors and they both look OK, checked the wires and connections and they look good. Checked the fuses and they're OK.

Does anyone know where the other end of the wires go, so I could check them?

How do the sensers work? are they just a variable resistor? how could I check them with a multimeter?

or any other ideas?

I am in Lancing in West sussex...if anyone has a code reader???

thanks

on facelifts the arm just pops out and its a magnet..

.... and they look good.....

Looking good isn't a measure of actually being OK
