Hi,
My xenons are twitching.
They come on when needed, auto level, then twitch up and down. Not all the time but most. I noticed it in traffic and could see the line of light going up an down the car in front. I can't see it when travelling but I'm sure it continues.
Any one any ideas what could be causing this? I have heard if I remove level sensors to check connections I will have to have Ford realign the lights, is that true?
Thanks

Podie

I think the latest version of ELM config allows you to reset the Xenons, rather than going to Ford.

That does assume you have a modified cable and the software, and know what you're doing.

Correct - fault code on the stepper motor from memory.

Thanks for replies
I don't know what ELM config is so I'm afraid that's out.
There is a local Indi Ford specialist that I'm going to try on Monday, if they can reset the error code is it likly to return?

Bit of an update.
Haven't had chance to get to the ford guys but did get it on a code reader and nothing came up. The lights seem to be aiming lower now too, not sure if they are or if it's because I'm watching them a lot more. Calling ford guys tomorrow to get booked in. Fordtech in Honley if anybody has ever used them.
