lkm light control module

i was wondering what would be bad inside the module if my passengers side headlight doesnt work until the car warms up after that it comes on and stays on for the rest of the night.

Re: lkm light control module

Look for cold solder joints inside the LKM. They will look like a circle around the solder joint...good ones are fairly smooth. Pretty easy fix if you're handy with a solder gun. Suck out the old solder and flow on some fresh stuff, works like a charm. I fixed several on mine and I'm not really a soldering kind of guy.

Re: lkm light control module

fixed one last night theres 3 things with little springs on them one of them the orange colored wire was touching the metal and it was black so i cleaned it up with electrical parts cleaner wiped everything off and it then stuck it in the car and so far so good i went out for 4 hours last night to see if they would cut off on me and i didnt have a problem. I guess this will be the big test.
