I am getting this, i think it is related to a fuse that is not working but i cannot find the fuse that covers that.

 

i had other failures but electrically they have been fixed one by one, car was in a flood.

 

ideas / suggestions?

There is an angle reader on each suspension arm. I would check the wiring to each one and make sure that they are connected properly. They have a little arm attached to them. Given the history of your car take each connector off and clean it with contact cleaner as they may have rusted and shorted out.

If that doesn't work take each headlight out and check the connections at each headlight. Maybe a similar issue with a connection problem at the headlight.

 

Next would be the module that manages the system. I will see if I can find where that is. Maybe it's damaged.

 

Start with the simple stuff first. IMO

I would get the car scanned with a Porsche specific scan tool (PIWIS, Durametric system) looking of the codes associated with this MIL.  These lights have a control system the operates the servo motors that move the lights, and you could have one out or just needing to be reset.  The codes will tell you exactly what is wrong.

ddavidoff,

 

Tonight i will run the electrical scan as per JFP, but how can I get to these to look at them?
