Angel Eye Help

thibb001 · 07-14-2021, 04:20 PM

Hello,

My passenger angel eye keeps shorting out. I have reset the short circuit counter in tool32 but after a few minutes the counter reaches the maximum. I ran the short circuit counter even when no bulb is plugged in, so I can rule out the light bulb.

Does anyone have an idea on what can be causing my drl to keep shorting out?

I replaced the fuse even though it looked good. All other lights are functioning normal.

Thanks in advance for any help.

If the Headlights are original to the car check the actual wires to the h7 connectors. The plastic insulation is very brittle, and is most likely exposed and touching. If thats the case, a quick fix would be to separate the wires so they don't touch and just use some electrical tape.
