What to Do If the Dipped Headlights on a 2016 Dacia Sandero Do Not Work

Model: Dacia Sandero B8 - Years 2012-2020
Part: Headlight

The video shows us a common problem with this generation of Dacia Sandero, and also on other Dacia models from this period: the front headlights do not turn on, while the position lights and main beams work normally. The dashboard is lit, but when moving the headlight switch to the "dipped" position, the lights do not come on. The problem is due to the headlight switch (the switch located behind the steering wheel). You can find it on AliExpress with code 1005002495039324 for £10.99, with free delivery. The fault is typically due to a burnt or worn contact inside the headlight switch.

How to Reset the Central Locking of the Volkswagen Golf 4?

If the central locking system of the Volkswagen Golf 4 is not working, it is likely necessary to reset the system: to do this, open the driver's door and detach the side panel of the dashboard next to the steering wheel. Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14. To reset the system, remove this fuse from its housing, then reinsert it or replace it with a new one of the same amperage: this will reset the central locking system.
