Headlight Issue - need advice

Hi
On the 2002 MCS equipped with Xenons, the lights were pointing really low. This happened once before and it was a problem with the connector on the self levelling sensor.

This time, the dealer replaced the entire sensor. The problem is that in the past, when you turned on the lights, they would adjust upwards noticeable, especially noticeable when you parked against a garage. Now, when I turn them on, they stay level and do not move up or down, no matter if the car is pointed downhill or uphill.

The lights have been manually adjusted, but the levelling system is not working like I know it used to.

Any advice? Computer issue?

Thanks

Viraf
