axle13 Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Hey All, I've been having similair problem with the autoleveling light coming on. When i start car, i see lights go up & down, so i know they work. The warning light on the dash seems to come up intermittantly. Here today, then off for a week, back on, then off. No real pattern as to when it comes on. Sometimes headlights are on, sometimes is just DRL. No suspension work lately, and the sensors are adjusted as in your pictures. Any ideas, btw Bartkat, I tried pm'ing you but no go. If you can, would you email me pdf's so i can troubleshoot problem further. Thanks. sendto: foise13@gmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spetsnaz56 Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 I have the same issue with the headlights. The pictures on here don't work anymore. I checked the other forum and those pictures are not working either. Can someone help me out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartkat Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Here's a pic of the autolevel arm behind the left rear wheel. This one is adjusted wrong. It's in a L shape. Properly adjusted the arms should almost be in a straight line or maybe 170 degree angle. see the pic? above number 2, you see those two things the arrow is pointing to? see how it looks like a T on it's side? the silver bar should be straight up. there's a possibility that the original poster's nut (where A is pointing to) worked its way loose and sometimes the bar is straight, but when he hits a bump it gets knocked over, causing the light to come on. http://my.is/forums/f89/springs-sways-cali...vel-fix-139041/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDixon Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Echo other posts on this issue wanting more info. Anyone who has access to the deleted pictures please post them again on this site. At one time there were pictures that showed exactly the issue, the placement, and the fix. The directions are great but it is the old "picture/1000 words" issue. Thanks.

bartkat Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 First thing you want to do is lie on the ground with your head behind the left rear wheel and using a light, look at the linkage. It's easy to see and you don't even have to jack the car up to see it. If the linkage is "L" shaped, then that's your problem. If it's almost straight, then it most likely isn't your problem. The pics are gone. I found the only one that I could and it's pretty much self explanatory. Maybe you could take some pics while you're checking. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was at a 45 degree angle, which is the center mark on it. I put it down as far as I could as recommended on here. The farthest it would go down to was an L shape 90 degree angle. I have no idea how it could possibly go down any farther to look straight. Any ideas? I'm sure I was adjusting the right thing. It was a star shaped 10mm nut. Thanks for any help.

bartkat Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Just moving the 10 mm nut in the slot won't do it. You have to actually move the arms themselves into the proper configuration, then lock down the nut. Maybe some of the info here will help. http://my.is/forums/f87/self-leveling-head...ed-help-272756/ http://my.is/forums/f89/auto-level-sensor-adjustment-159615/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
