Problems with headlight adjustment and flickering lights on BMW 2 Series, year 2015, petrol engine

Hi guys, I have a problem with my BMW 2 Series, year 2015, gasoline engine. The headlights (low and high beam) are either set too high or too low and the lights keep getting dim or flickering. I suspect it might have something to do with the indicators. Have any of you ever experienced this and can give me some tips? How did you get this solved in the workshop and what was your experience with it? I look forward to your help. Thank you!

What I can do to solve FRM: Short-circuit fault?

Hi Onesimo, The FRM (Footwell Module) short-circuit fault is a common issue in some BMW models. It's often caused by a low battery or a battery disconnect. You can try to reset the FRM by disconnecting the battery for 10 minutes and then reconnecting it. If the problem persists, you may need to have the FRM module reprogrammed or replaced. This should be done by a professional mechanic to avoid further issues. Please let us know how it goes.

Hi there, I wanted to check my battery but it only says charge status etc., but not whether the battery is still OK. I wanted to ask what else I can do? . Lg petar

Hi Petar, You can use a multimeter to check the voltage of your battery. A fully charged battery should read around 12.6 volts when the engine is off. When the engine is running, this reading should be between 13.7 to 14.7 volts. If the readings are significantly lower, your battery may be failing. If you're not comfortable doing this yourself, consider having it checked by a professional. Please let us know how it goes.

Hello Venesh, Have you checked the fuse for the rear right running light? It might be blown. If the fuse is fine, then it could be a wiring issue. If you're not comfortable with checking these yourself, I'd recommend taking your car to a professional mechanic. Please keep us updated on your progress.

Where ist the Fuse? Where can I find it?

Hi Karagenov, The location of the fuse box can vary depending on the make and model of your car. Typically, you can find it under the dashboard on the driver's side, or under the hood near the battery. Your car's manual should have a diagram showing the exact location. If you're having trouble finding it, consider asking a professional for help. Let us know if you have any other questions.

Hi Miggi81, It sounds like you might be dealing with a wiring issue or a problem with the light control module. If you've already replaced the control unit and the problem persists, I'd recommend checking the wiring and the connections to the lights. If you're not comfortable doing this yourself, it might be best to have a professional mechanic look at it. Please keep us updated on your progress.
