I have a couple of electrical gremlins in my 2017 Benimar at the moment and wonder if anyone can help. My latest issue is a light popped on my dash on my last outing. Never seen this before and it was even tricky finding what it meant online with no mention in the Fiat manual. The light means 'headlight range control'. I only really looked into it as I had one lorry flash us twice and another peep us as we passed. I can only assume that the headlights are causing a glare for high vehicles as no one else said anything. Anyone had this issue before? I've attached the a photo of the icon. What could have caused this? I've not touched the headlights in any way. Doesn't seem as common as some other issues like my other one......

I had my tyres changed a couple of months ago and after getting the motorhome home I noticed that the airbag and seatbelt lights were on. Looked like the airbag ECU was faulty. After a few more restarts the lights went off and stayed off for the next 1200 miles. Now the lights are back with no sign of going off. The seatbelt light is going off and reappearing every 1 minute or so making a load beep every time it goes. The airbag light is constant. I have ordered the correct new airbag ecu and will fit it and get it proxy aligned but I'm wondering if there is a separate issue with the seatbelt? Will the new airbag ecu cure both issues? Is there something relating to the seatbelt sensor that I could check?

Thanks for any help offered.

That appears to be a light relating to the headlight levelling. If your vehicle is loaded at the rear then the lights, even on dip will blind vehicles in front.Somewhere near the headlight switch will be a vertical rotary control ,usually marked 0,1, 2, 3,4 with 0 being the highest & normal setting when level & empty. 4 lowers the dip/main beam considerably.
The light could well be telling you that the levelling has packed up?

Check under the seat to ensure that the wires are not broken or if you have rotating seats that they have not broken internally.

Thanks for that. When you say levelling packed up, what do you mean? Is there a levelling motor for the lights to be adjusted? The vehicle is exactly as loaded as always. No difference at all.

I'll have a look under the seats. Yes, they are captain seats.

The headlight beam adjustment (0-3 shown on the dash display) on my 2015 Peugeot Boxer is two buttons pressed in succession to operate (up-down) next to the mode button on the the lower right hand of the dash.

Thanks. I checked the adjustment controls yesterday and it worked. Highest at 0 and lowest at 3. The light remains on so I assume a sensor or something has packed in. I have to have a garage fit and proxy align a new airbag ecu so will get them to check this issue.
