W203 Healamp Locators
To all W203 owners (saloon)….
I’m trying to establish if the Headlamp Locators are faulty on my car and will need your help please – in the dark when I open just the boot lid from the key thob the headlamp locators (exterior lights) do not activate – The only time that the headlamp locators activate when the boot lid is opened from the key thob (in the dark) is only for the first few minutes after the engine has been running and switched off.
I’m sure that the Headlamp Locators used to activate on my previous W203s (in the dark) that every time that the boot lid was opened from the key thob (regardless to whether the engine had been running previously…) its not something I paid to much attention to at the time…
Please could someone check on the car if the headlamp locators function from opening the boot lid from the key thob after the car has been switched off for i.e. more than 15 mins…
When I queried this with the work shop controller at a dealership he honestly did not have a clue and agreed with everything I said and finally said “errhh its not meant to activate the headlamp locators then… if its not working…” – I could have said that he was a p*ick and he would have still agreed with that…– that’s just how unhelpful/clueless he was…
Thanks
