    No power to driver's side headlight from VC Front

    Correct, that's why I was saying that the module not supply 14v as expected is due to it being an open e-fuse, and you have to unplug the component and depower/repower the car to property diagnose. Two scroll wheel reboot isn't enough to reset the e-fuse, so it will look like the wiring or...

    No power to driver's side headlight from VC Front

    @FatFalcon yep, for the last 3 or 4 software updates it’s been that way, thought it was a bug. When you get in the car the lights don’t flash for unlock, but when you start driving away they do. I still have the car all apart in my garage I’m going to try to get a headlight tomorrow and then put...

    No power to driver's side headlight from VC Front

    For anyone who finds this in the future: I removed the cover for the VC Front module, and tested the headlight wiring back to the multi-pin connector where it plugs into the module. The wiring was good. Then I determined that possibly there was an E-fuse in the module that was not resetting so I...

    No power to driver's side headlight from VC Front

    2018 (late 2018 build LR AWD), I figured out that the Gen 3.1 is just the newer version, the EPC doesn’t distinguish between the old and new VC Front clearly, but what I have is the original style with the battery +/- cables right on lugs on the front of it. I’m going to pull it out so I can...

    No power to driver's side headlight from VC Front

    I've been having a couple weird issues- the hazard lights flash when I start driving away, for example- however the new thing tonight is that the driver's headlight is out, which is making the wipers erratic. Perfect. I checked the plug at the headlight, the passenger side has 14.5v on the...

    2018 Model 3 Flashing Hazard Lights when driving off

    Yes they do actually flash.. if I unlock it with the key card they flash immediately, it's just the phone as key makes it delay the unlock flash.

    2018 Model 3 Flashing Hazard Lights when driving off

    I just did the update to 2024.2.3 but I've had this issue for about a month (I think about 3 updates ago). When I leave the car, it flashes the lights once when it locks- as normal. When I arrive at the car and open the door using phone as a key, it makes the pleasant "ding ding" sound but the...

    2018 M3 LR AWD Loud Oil Pump When Precondtioning

    Buzzing is normal, it’s the pump functioning and the way that it generates heat, the uneven sound of the pump sounds like air being sucked into the pump to me.

    2018 M3 LR AWD Loud Oil Pump When Precondtioning

    My 2018 M3 LR AWD just turned 100k miles, the oil pump is making a strange sound from the rear DU when it’s preconditioning on cold days (coldest we’ve had is 25˚F so far this year) I don’t remember it making that much noise or uneven noise last year. I’m not in a great spot to spend the...

    Running Service Mode Coolant Drain/Fill or Thermal Drain/Fill Options Not Working

    I ended up just doing a fairly thorough vacuum fill and then supercharging and checking the level during the process when the pumps were running at 100%.. I talked to a SC tech later who claims that when you start the drain/fill procedure in service mode, it runs for like 30 min in the...

    Do you have to be geographically close to the car to add to Tesla account?

    Trying to add a new (used) car to my account. It’s at a dealer, it’s been released from the previous owner, I submitted the paperwork but I’m also 1500mi away- I wanted to add it before I got there to be sure I’d be able to supercharge on the trip home (and possibly make an appointment at the...

    2019 Model 3 LR DIY PTC heater change possible?

    It's hard to say, but I did just replace my airwave (panel vent) actuator because it was being erratic. It could be that the blend motor is doing the same thing, and when you call for more than 68º temp, it is just closing down which is faulting the PTC.. the parts are fairly cheap because the...
