My beloved 914 developed a blinkng problem severe enough to keep it parked. DAMN IT!!!!!!!!

The headlights open-close-open-close whenever the lights are turned on. Inspection showed no obvious problems, but the pull switch on the dash that turns on the lights was wicked hot to the touch, and the rear license lamp is always on. My first instinct is to replace the switch, but unless Pelican developed 2-hour cross country shipping I'm screwed.

If anyone has any advice please weigh in. THe clock is ticking.

Oh yeah, which relay is the one for the headlight motors?

I have spare relays.

Both sides do this? Do the lights stay on or do they just run up and down?

If so, then I'd think it's not the lamps / motors. Pull one relay, try it. Reinstall and repeat on other side. Any changes?

Fuses aren't a bad thing to double check, they're easy. I have a problem with my gauge fuse blowing and then creating a high resistance connection as the two halves of metal barely touch. I know there's 4 fuses for lights, would need to go look what's there for the motors..

Any changes leading up to this? how's your ground look? No circuit breakers?

Can't offer anything of major use... Good luck and don't be late. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
