I am setting a fault for left actuator.

I have read all the threads and not coming up with much.

I disassembled the headlight yesterday hoping to find an obvious issue, broken wire etc, but no luck.

I am not willing to $1800 to replace or even $600-$800 for a used one.

I am surprised no one is able to service these.

Any thoughts suggestions appreciated.

 

I had the same issue a couple of years ago and was able to find a good used unit for about $300 and have had no issue since. However, it seems to me that the module that contains the little motor that controls the movement should be replaceable.

 

check with exco.nl, they seem to be able to fix it . (at least thats what they told me..)

 

Ok thanks. I sent them a note.

Any idea if it's the actuator or the controller that goes bad?

 

I can only speculate.. but last time they told me that a very common issue is actually in the wires.. the internal wire breaks and renders the controller inoperative. They replace the wires and everything works again.. obviously I have no idea what is wrong with yours.. I'd say give them a call, explain what the problem is and see if they can diagnose..
