Default Re: Trouble Light On BAS/ESP LIGHT

Sometimes for months or a year or more at a time. However recentlly it has comeback and isn't going away as easily. I've blown out and cleaned the 60-some pin connector with 91% alcohol, that worked for a couple of week or so, but now is back. The connector seems loose. Yesterday with the help of my wife, while I gently "touch,push, move about" or apply pressure to this connector I can get all the lights out. So my question is, does anybody have any "retightening" techiniques? I tried looking and everythinnng is so small on this connector. Thanks, and this forum has been the best thing in owning these cars,

That connector has a large latch on it that I think you pull up on to release and push down to lock. I have not taken it off in a long time so I am a bit vague on the details now. Do you have that latch?
