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) |

Relay is used to brake the motor at both the top and bottom position, by way of the Normally Closed contact. The other contact, Normally Open is working if the light goes up, but the N.C. contact will eventually burn out, causing the wink. Relays are mechanical, and N.C. contacts are only held in by a spring, while the N.O. is held by the magnetic force, usually much stronger, especially after the spring is 30 years old...
All the relays are the same, so if it is a relay, you can just swap it for one on the relay board. None of the other relays use the N.C. contact. |
