I was relieved when our Evri delivery of a replacement headlight levelling switch for our Ford arrived. I quickly fitted it and then became very deflated because it didn't cure the fault
. There is a 'peg' which is turned between 0 and 4 to ensure oncoming vehicle drivers aren't dazzled - setting it at 4 if there are passengers in the rear seats lowers the beam. I was confident it was the switch because when I removed it to examine the part number, I heard the movement motors move briefly. Wiggling the connector and wire couldn't replicate the situation again. As the new switch didn't cure it, I took most of the front bumper fixings off to move the bumper enough to extract the headlight and get to its connector. Multi-meter on the connector proved the circuit was working as required. With the motor/actuator prised apar,t it was possible to manually wind the moving parts to one extreme, and the motor would wind it one way but not the other. So new headlight levelling motors are the next purchase! Oh-the joys of modern motor repairs without the assistance of Haynes manuals of old. Still I count myself lucky it wasn't a wiring loom fault!
