Everything seemed to be operating fairly well, until I turned off the lights and the left headlight cycled up and down and up and down.
I could stop it by holding it down for a moment until the motor paused. It is as if there was a flywheel effect that carried it from cycle to cycle.... Anybody have experienced this??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

Sticky relay or bad microswitch inside the motor. I'm not sure how the linkage could cause this problem, but if someone has fixed it by adjusting the linkage it could have been the cause.
I'd start by swapping the relays left to right and see if the problem follows the relay. --DD |
