Ford Galaxy 2006: Warning light and lighting problems - mechanic recommendations wanted

Hi, I had a similar problem with my 2009 Ford Mondeo some time ago. The headlights were acting up and the warning light said "headlight control unit faulty". After I took it to my garage, they found that the headlight control unit was indeed faulty. The repair was quite complex, as the control unit plays a central role in controlling the lighting. They had to replace it completely. Although it wasn't a matter of minutes, it wasn't a problem of enormous difficulty. Although your guess is not entirely wrong, it could be that the real culprit is the control unit, not the glow agent. Try getting your headlights checked more closely. Good luck with that! Greetings

Hi, thanks for the tip! It's good to hear that I'm not the only one with such problems. It would be really bad if the problem was with the control unit. But that's exactly what the workshop is for. Do you remember how much you paid for the repair back then? And have you had anything else similar since then? LG

Hello, you're welcome! Yes, it really wasn't fun. The repair of the control unit came to a whopping €630. Not exactly a penny, but at least everything has been running smoothly again since then. And the good news is that the glow agent was actually OK. When I picked up the car from the mechanic, he assured me that everything is now spotless again. I haven't had any further problems since. Keep your fingers crossed that it won't be quite so expensive for you. Maybe you'll be lucky and it really is just the glow agent ... LG

Hello, thank you very much for this information! 630 is really a lot, but if there is no more problem afterwards, it's probably worth it. I'm glad that at least you didn't have another problem. I hope the problem is smaller for me. Well, I'm going to visit the garage now and hopefully they'll have some good news for me. Wish you continued trouble-free driving! LG
