The headlight leveling motor of the car is a device that can control the position of the headlights. Cars equipped with a leveling motor have a control button in the dashboard. With this control knob the position of the headlights can be determined at any time. When it is dark, you naturally want to be able to see as far as possible. However, when you set out heavily loaded, you may dazzle oncoming traffic. When the rear of the car hangs, the headlights will rise further up. With the control knob in the dashboard, the headlight position is quickly and easily adjusted to the desired height.
Headlight leveling motor broken
When the leveling motor of the headlights has broken, you can notice this by the position of the headlights. A headlight with a defective motor will no longer be adjustable. In most cases, not both actuators will fail at once. So you will notice that one of the headlights switches and the other headlight stays on. Do both headlights no longer respond to the controls in the dashboard? Then this is probably for another reason. When both headlights no longer switch, it is important to check whether the fuses and wiring are still working properly. It is also possible that the hinges of the headlight cannot move properly, so that the headlight remains stuck.
To check whether the leveling motor is defective, you can exchange the motors of the headlights. Have you switched the devices and now adjusting the opposite headlight does not work? Then the defect is most likely in the leveling motor.
Replace headlight leveling motor
In general, the leveling motor of the headlight can be replaced separately. However, in some modern cars, the leveling motor is integrated into the headlamp. In this case, the entire headlight will have to be replaced. Do you have the repair carried out by the garage? Then buy your parts cheaply at Winparts.
