    Diagnostics help, FRM error not going away :(

    I get erros on DRL left and brakeklight left, both are working fine, but the error just dont want to go away no matter what i do, ive tried to reset with tool32, DRL was 60 and breaklight was 2, got them both resettet to 0, and removed the erros with INPA, but still the errors are showing up, what am i missing? i did the follwing

    LAMPNR. 0X0E brakelight left
    0x1D DLR LEFT
    0X1E DLR right

    All is now 0 and got OKAY in all jobs, but still error is showing.

    ERROR CODES A8C6 and A8C5 - ( 9CD5 - 9CD4 LED main light module (LHM) right: Inside fan faulty, No idea what this is ? is it inside the module?? )

    Connect cable to your car, launch Toolset32 and load FRM70.prg (for FRM2). (COPY PASTED FROM FORUM)
    - In the window called Select job: FRM_70, select the job status_lampen_kurzschluss_counter. In the list Results select job_status and the lamp output which is shut off due to short circuit protection.
    - Send the job to the car using the F5 key. You should get an answer in the Results window and the COUNTER value should be > 0. If COUNTER is = 0 then you didn't select the right lamp output. Try finding the one(s) which have COUNTER > 0. You will look at this value later to see if the short circuit reset-job actually worked.
    - Now, switch job to steuern_reset_kurzschlussabschaltung. Notice that this job requires one (1) argument: lamp_nr. Lamp_nr is a number 0-255. Enter the lamp_nr to clear in the Arguments list and select job_status under Results.
    - Send the job using F5. Make sure you get an answer OKAY in the Results window.

    Note: I don't know the mapping between each lamp and lamp_nr, so I simply sent the command 64 times for all lamp_nr from 0 to 63. Try this - I guess it can't do any harm. Since lamp_nr is supposed to be an integer, I guess possible values for lamp_nr are 0-255.

    When you have sent kurzschlussabschaltung-commands for all lamp_nr, do the first job again (check COUNTER). If everything is good, the counters which were > 0 before should now be = 0.

    Also, I see there are two jobs which are named quite similar - steuern_lampen_kurzschlussabschaltung and _reset_kurzschluss_sperre. I don't know the difference between these two, but if one doesn't clear your counters, I would try the other one too. Both jobs require the lamp_nr-argument.

    Some models have a 10-year, 156,000-mile warranty extension on the FRM. If you're below that time and mileage, call a dealer to have them check your VIN to see if the extension applies.
