One of my lights doesn't come up. You can wind it up but if you go all the way up it then puts itself away again. If you wind it most of the way up it will go away if you switch them off. I've swapped the relays over and it makes no difference.
I'm rubbish with electrics so be gentle with me! Any suggestions? Thanks |

start by checking around the lights for loose brown wires...those should be grounded.
Only one light? Bet it's the driver's side. Power goes to driver's side first then piggybacks to passenger side. |

QUOTE(7TPorsh @ Jul 16 2013, 02:21 PM)  start by checking around the lights for loose brown wires...those should be grounded. Only one light? Bet it's the driver's side. Power goes to driver's side first then piggybacks to passenger side. Mine did this - there is a plastic cover where three wires are plugged together by the headlight motor. I pulled these connections apart, cleaned the ends of the terminals, and put it back together. This immediately fixed the problem. Loose connections here also show up on mine as the one light comes up after the other one is fully open (passenger side is delayed). |
