I have successfully resolved it! The block connector connections on the aesthetically pleasing, although subpar quality, aftermarket headlamp components had begun to deteriorate. Several tips of the pins were really disintegrating. I connected the block and, after identifying several faulty lights, discovered that everything began functioning properly. The extensive hours of meticulous re-wiring yielded commendable results, undoubtedly! Aside from the expense of a batch of Scotch connectors, it was complimentary (quite atypical for my Z4)! Joyful days!

There is no evidence of combustion or thermal damage around the cluster connection or the terminal connector of the wire. Are there further earth connection points to verify, and if so, what are their locations?

Faulty bulb or grounding issue. Exchange the bulbs laterally to evaluate that component.

I disconnected the ground tracks in the light cluster and connected a line directly from the battery, thus the ground should be adequate.

What specific Earth fix did you implement?It appears like the back earth pin or wire has been burned or is burnt out.

Initially, I considered the earth connections; nevertheless, after thoroughly reading the entire post, I recognise that you have already attempted it! 😊

That is a compelling concept. I suppose there is no harm in attempting.

Can the bulb holder from the opposite side be temporarily fitted to determine if the defect transfers sides?

Greetings, everyone. I am now addressing yet another issue with my 2003 Z4 2.5L E85, but progress is being made. When I signal left, everything functions correctly; however, when I signal right, the ticking noise accelerates, and the rear brake light flashes instead of the indicator. How bizarre! When I activate the hazard lights, they operate as anticipated. I believe all bulbs are functional, with the exception of the side repeater, which I have not checked for replacement; nonetheless, I do not anticipate it being defective. I established a temporary ground connection to the light cluster at the rear, as the faulty ground at the cluster was a convenient starting place; nonetheless, it yielded no improvement. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. I have encountered mentions of 'rear tail light earth' in many threads here, but I have been unable to locate any specific information

Indeed, we were overwhelmed the night prior. I was quite apprehensive about using all-season tires on this Mazda, but it managed effortlessly. I was astounded!

Excellent work. It appears frigid with perhaps sleet. The weather here is contrary.

During my downtime in the shop today, I connected the device to a steady power source and performed the TCU update to eliminate the telematics error message. Thank you It functioned exceptionally well! I remained after hours to have my live rearview mirror fitted.

Your CX-90 will appear more aesthetically pleasing once it is washed.

Thank you. I intended to post a picture, but my Mazda is excessively dirty.

It is a pleasure to get your communication.

Recently acquired a 2024 CX90 premium and am keen to discover any pertinent facts, both favourable and unfavourable, regarding this vehicle.

I believe I have discerned my issue. It appears that the actuators previously failed to fully elevate the hinges upon activation, instead forcing the hinges into the bonnet, resulting in an indentation that rendered the screws on the hinges uneven. I will remove the bonnet when I have the opportunity to verify.

Merely another fraudulent scheme at the dealer level. 🤬

The sole additional counsel I can offer is as follows, The system necessitates intervention from a certified technician or an authorised Mercedes-Benz service centre employing dealer-level diagnostic equipment. Repairs generally need the replacement of deployed or defective bonnet actuators (lifters). Inspecting and substituting any defective impact sensors or wire connections. Erasing failure codes from the SRS module via specialised software. In certain instances, the control unit may require replacement and reprogramming.

Greetings, thank you. However, I have disconnected and deleted those components, and it remains elevated.

Following an accident that activates the mechanism, the pyrotechnic charges in the rear bonnet hinges are deployed, elevating the bonnet physically. The deployed components must be substituted with new or refurbished equipment. In most instances, they are disposable objects.

Hello everyone, I am seeking advise on this matter. I possess a 2019 W177 that was involved in a minor accident, resulting in the malfunction of the bonnet actuators; thus, I am replacing the hinges with fresh new ones from Mercedes. Despite several hours of effort, I still unable to get a flush fit for the bonnet, which sits excessively high at the rear. Has anyone encountered this or a similar situation previously? Assistance would be valued.
