Driftit 1185 Report post Posted November 17, 2020 So I had leant my car to my brother in law for a couple of weeks. While he was driving it he got a warning that a headlight was out. He checked and it was indeed out. He ran around with one headlight for the time. I chucked in some cheap Trademe HID bulbs and I have to admit I never checked the warnings afterwards. However starting it up the next day I get a heap or warnings. A8B3 FRM: Direction indicator, rear right, faulty frm_70 A8C0 FRM: Rear fog light/adaptive brake light, right, faulty frm_70 A8B0 FRM: Direction indicator, front left, faulty frm_70 Checked the lights and none of the them are out. Cleared the codes from the FRM but they returned at next ignition on. Pulled the rear right bulbs out and they seem fine. They are however the original Osram bulbs. Have my cheap HID's caused an issue? Or is my FRM being a dick? Or maybe the bulbs are all just ready to be replaced? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M3AN 3324 Report post Posted November 20, 2020 Remove the HID's, clear the errors and see if they come back? Obviously you'll get headlight errors but if fog and indicator lights don't error again you've found the culprit. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Driftit 1185 Report post Posted November 20, 2020 sh*t. FRM is fooked. Pulled the bulbs - Errors Stayed Changed the bulbs - Errors stayed FRM doesn't detect main bulbs are not there. High beam is no longer working. This is going to be fun. Going to have a look at the board first. Some people have had success with cleaning off corrosion. This vehicle is an outside car at the moment. So could be the culprit. Otherwise new FRM. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
