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 |

David, do you have an electrical wiring diagram? Were you able to trace out the voltage and current flow to the affected motor?
If you're having a hard time figuring it out, and don't have any locals to physically help you out, you may need to take it to an auto-electric shop (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Maybe you need a new motor? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
