Have you discovered a resolution to this issue? I own a 2021 Suburban with a same configuration, and we often get connectivity problems with the rear HDMI connections. I have not used the USB ports but anticipate they may exhibit the same problem.

I acquired another light combo stalk, which also proved ineffective. We have replaced the bulbs, housing, light selection switch, and light stalk. None of these methods have been effective. I am beginning to suspect that the issue may lie with the BCM at this juncture. Are there any more ideas?

Thank you; we will consider acquiring another one, since I am uncertain how to do the testing.

We have tested two distinct sets of bulbs. Are you referring to the stalk for the high beams in the light combination? We have not verified that, since I could not conceive that it would cause the low lights to malfunction. The stalk activates the high lights; I am uncertain how to do additional testing. The connection is powered, however it fails to provide the necessary 12 volts to activate the low beams.

My kid has a 2013 Focus SE that is experiencing difficulties with the low beam headlights. We have inspected the fuse in the compartment under the glove box, and it is functioning properly. We have measured the voltage at the light housing socket, which registers 8V for the parking light, low beam, and turn signal when inactive. Activating the turn signal and the parking lights results in a voltage of 12V. The low beams maintain a constant voltage. We attempted to replace the headlight housing due to significant yellowing, however this did not provide any improvement. We replaced the switch in the automobile since the dimmer for the dashboard lights was ineffective in adjusting the brightness. That also resulted in no alteration. The high beams are operational. These are halogen lamps.

All repairs will incur higher expenses. Coil packs are prohibitively costly, motor mounts need extensive effort, and turbos may fail, requiring engine removal. It is a whole distinct entity, and is often far more costly in terms of labor and components. The low price indicates underlying problems, and the vehicle seems to already exhibit flaws. These vehicles enhance the Rube Goldberg effect that Mercedes has meticulously developed over the years. Purchase one to discover.

Indeed? Four more cylinders, two turbochargers, and two intercoolers, along with several unique components for the vehicle that are costly and difficult to get. Numerous components from other V8 vehicles are compatible; nevertheless, the inherent nature of it being a V12 vehicle renders it costly. Owning a 20-year-old Mercedes S500 without the capability to fix it would be imprudent, and possessing such a vehicle without unlimited financial resources would be unequivocally unwise.

I completely concur; unless you possess the ability to repair this vehicle independently, acquiring it would be quite imprudent. Even with the capability to fix it yourself, I contend that it remains a terrible acquisition

I previously had a '86 Audi Turbo that exhibited a similar issue, which was quite frustrating. Once initiated, it inexplicably continued to operate. The issue was identified as fractured solder connections in the FPR, similar to the one mentioned above. I deduced that the resistance at the contact site progressively deteriorated owing to pitting, resulting in overheating until the solder oxidized, became brittle, and detached from the PCB. I believed that after the engine was operational, vibration facilitated the temporary connections of the pins. Re-soldering and cleaning the contact points resolved the issue thereafter.
