Hi all! Loving the C5, but I have a really weird situation that has remained consistent for several months.

When I bought the car, the right headlamp wouldn’t rise up. Simple right? I putzed with the adjustment **** and got it to work fine. Only problem is, it only works in the daytime! Everytime it is dark out and I engage the lights switch, it won’t come up! It happened again last night. This morning I went outside and tested it. Went right up!

Is this just a personal gremlin or has anyone else experienced this? I’ve turned off the twilight function, but is there something else DIC related? I can’t see that it would make any difference changing out the motor, but maybe I’m wrong?

I know this sounds crazy, but it’s driving me nuts. Any suggestions appreciated.

 

I would check and clean he wiring connections. Maybe temperature related, that could be wiring also. You could replace the motor to see if that makes a difference and have a spare. These kind of problems can drive you crazy.

 

Thanks Thomas! I’ll check connections.

 

You could try checking the voltage at the motor when the headlight won't come up also.

 

Got it! Thanks!
