So all the talk on my rain sensor thread about adaptive headlights, reminded me about the fault on the Mondeo's headlights. ::)
When I turn the lights on, they do 'the dance' and move left and right with the steering OK, but after the second or third corner, I get a bing! and a message Front Headlight Malfunction. The lights then become fixed until the ignition is turned off and the system obviously resets when the car is started again.
I had a close look inside one through the glass the other day and it looks like a spider has taken up residence in there. ::) Could his web be enough to upset the mechanism? :-\
TIA! :y
PS Feel free to chat about rain sensors! :P :D ;D

A spider would not be enough to cause an issue, if the setup passes the power on test (the dance) then there is unlikely to be anything jamming the motors.
A quick code read of the system would tell the cause but, could well be the sensors on the front or rear which are showing a fault after some movement

I had a look through the codes with my one size fits all Creader code reader, but couldn't see anything relevant. :-\ Maybe it need a Ford specific code reader? ???
A while ago I had a trawl through the Ford forums looking for an answer and found a couple of stories of Dealers scratching their heads over this and charging lots for diagnostics and changing parts without solving the problem. ::)
