Hi folks!

I turned on my headlights and they both popped up. When I turned them off, the right one went all the way down but the left side stayed halfway up. I turned the lights on again and the right side popped up correctly, but the left side cycled back down before popping back up and resting in the correct position. I played with the headlight switch, pushing it in and out while the lights "danced", one up, the other down, so on a so forth and then both closed. Now when I turn the headlight switch on the bulbs turn on, but the lights don't pop up at all.

I tried searching the forum for an answer, but I either don't know how to search or the search function isn't very good.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Turn the lamps on, let them pop up and the left side do its thing. With them switched on, take off the battery. Dont turn off the switch.
Undo the nut on the LH motor connecting the arm without moving the motor.
Pry off the arm.
With the arm off, move the headlight to the fully up position.
Put the arm back on the motor and tighten the nut.
Re-connect the battery and try the switch.

From what you say in your first post its a link position issue and relay one.

You didn't say, but have you had them apart?

Good luck
