914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Headlight keeps cycling up and down

Posted by: mmichalik Oct 4 2021, 01:34 PM

I'm currently having an issue with my 75. We have everything wired up after 10 years + of sitting.
When we turn on the headlights, the driver side headlight just cycles up and down continuously.
I'm thinking that the wiper contact is just very dirty and that it will eventually wear through and begin to make contact again.
Is that a safe assumption?
If not, is there something that may be serviceable that I can clean to make the motor function as intended?
Passenger side works as expected.

That popped into my head this morning as well. Easy way to find out, I guess.
Thanks!

Yep. Mine did that. New relay was the trick.
