Headlights flashing
 

Car is a 1989 260E.
Is there s headlight flashing feature on this car.
Pulling on the headlight arm, there seem to be a detent which would allow this feture but nothing happens. I'm sure it exists on Euro models.
Diagnostic??? Thanks

Anyone??? Thanks

Mine works...
 

but, it has to be something wrong with yours. I do not know how to diagnosed. However, my guess is your "headlight arm" is not making contact. :confused:

JackD,
In my car, the engine/ignition has to be on for the "flash-to-pass" feature to be activated. I dunno if it's a Canadian or North American thing.

I found it odd that the "flash-to-pass" and the horn are not activated without the ignition/engine on - these are things that would be useful in an emergency, without the engine necessarily on.
