Head light range control Octavia 2002

scttandy · 03-10-2006, 21:50

Help,

With winter upon us and the time to use head lights all in the morning and evenings again.

I have found I have a problem with the lhs headlight wanting to adjust itself without altering the headlight range control switch. The right hand land will move up and down with the control but left hand just makes noises and remains stationary.

When this happens both left and right indicators if being used will start to flash intermittently.

Has any one else experienced this problem?

Does anybody know exactly how the headlamps adjust position or decide they are in the correct position with respect to the dash board rotary switch?

Does anybody know where a wiring diagram can be viewed.

Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Sounds like a couple of seperate faults.

One with the headlamp and/or its adjustment motor (may just be unclipped, take off the back cover and see if the innards seem loose)

And the other with the hazzard light switch, will need a modded one.
