BMAX Height Control Issue

I'm having trouble with the height control on my 2014 Ford BMAX diesel. Warning light's on, low beams are off, the height is uneven, and the ride's bumpy. Diagnostics showed an error, and I suspect a bad control rod on the sensor. Anyone seen this before?

Whoa, that sounds familiar! I drive a BMAX too, and I had almost the same symptoms a while back. The warning light, the weird headlight angle, and the bouncy ride were driving me nuts. Did you notice any difference when carrying heavy loads?

Yes, the issue seems worse when carrying heavier loads. Could you give me more details about the issue you experienced and how you resolved it?

Okay, so mine was definitely the leveling sensor acting up. At first, I thought it might be the air suspension itself, but turns out it was just a faulty connection in the control rod arm, causing the height adjustment to go haywire. Honestly, I'd recommend taking it to a workshop; messing with the air suspension or control module yourself could make things worse, and could also affect the ride height, believe me!

I appreciate your feedback and will seek professional help. It was a defective control rod on the sensor, as suspected. Repair cost 110€.
