Good evening.
I was wondering if you had a DIY video on replacing the level sensor and its location on the vehicle? Thank you.

Hi and thanks for using 2carpros,com

Are you referring to the footwell Module? The knurled wheel for manual headlight vertical aim control (3 positions) is on the left-hand side trim panel of the steering column. Take a look at the attached picture.

The signal from the knurled wheel is routed through the steering column switching center. The footwell module (FRM) activates the headlight vertical aim control.

Let me know.
