Description

Product Title

Mercedes Benz W166 W204 W212 Sunlight headlight Sensor Module A1669007101 – Original Used Part

Diagnosis and Common Symptoms

The sunlight and headlight sensor module (A1669007101) is a dual-purpose component responsible for monitoring ambient light for the automatic headlamp system and measuring solar intensity for the Thermotronic climate control. When this sensor fails, the vehicle's convenience systems lose their "eyes." Common fault codes associated with this module include B12A1 (Sunlight Sensor Malfunction) or communication errors on the LIN bus.

Physical symptoms include:

• Automatic headlights staying on even in bright midday sun.
• Headlights failing to activate automatically when entering tunnels or during dusk.
• The climate control system blowing inconsistent air temperatures or failing to increase fan speed when the vehicle is in direct sunlight.
• "Light Sensor Drive to Workshop" or "Auto Light Inoperative" messages appearing on the instrument cluster.

Introduction

This Genuine used Sunlight and Headlight Sensor Module is an essential replacement for restoring the automated convenience features of your Mercedes Benz. Every unit is harvested from donor vehicles with intact glass and electrical systems to ensure the sensitive photo-diodes have not been compromised by environmental exposure. Our technicians subject these modules to diagnostic testing to confirm they communicate correctly with the Front SAM (Signal Acquisition Module). By choosing a Genuine part, you ensure that the light sensitivity thresholds match your vehicle's factory specifications perfectly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What symptoms indicate failure? A: The most frequent sign is the automatic headlight system becoming unresponsive, often defaulting to keeping the lights on at all times as a safety precaution. You may also notice the air conditioning feels less effective when driving toward the sun.

Q: Does this require coding? A: In the W166, W204, and W212 chassis, this sensor is typically a plug-and-play unit. While it does not usually require SCN coding, it is standard professional practice to clear any "Stored" fault codes in the Front SAM or Overhead Control Panel module to reset the system logic.

Q: Is this original? A: Yes. This is a Genuine Mercedes Benz factory component. Unlike aftermarket light sensors which often have incorrect resistance values and cause flickering or delayed activation, this Genuine part maintains the exact factory-spec reaction times.
