Title: headlamp levelling dial
Post by: Panthera 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?

I guess that no one knows?

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.

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.
