    location of Headlight Range Control Module in S6?

    Ok so now that the no start issue caused by the failing fuel pump is sorted, on to a much less pressing issue. It looks like the range control module for my headlights has cacked based on the 01537 code it keeps throwing at me. Pulling the fuse for range adjustment has stopped the annoying error message in the cluster, now to look at replacing the module. All the diagrams I've seen are for the C5 sedan and they indicate that the control module is in the rear behind the CD changer, however there's nothing behind the frame that holds my toolkit and nav unit. I've come across reference that it is behind the glovebox in some Allroads, has anyone replaced this in their S6? If so, is it behind the glove box?

    I think it is behind the glovebox, little black box with blue harness connector?

    And..I have a spare if you need one! Thought I needed one last year, turned out I didn't..but bought a replacement anyway beforehand.

    What was the error in your case rollerton? The only code I'm getting is 01537 for voltage out of range on the control module, nothing indicating any issues with the suspension level sensors and the output tests properly raise and lower the lights however they do not attempt to self-level when the car is started. I'll definitely buy that spare module off you if it turns out I need it. I've got a drop box in Blaine so shipping should be pretty quick and straight forward.

    Don't remember exactly what the error was- I think it indicated the module was bad so I pulled the fuse to get rid of the error then bought the module and when I went to swap it out a few weeks later I put the fuse back in and no more error.
    So, WTF. Haven't had the problem since.
