I just picked up this car so, I'm not sure what was done to it in the past. I got the car and turned the headlights on and off a few times and they came up and lit just fine. Turned them off and there was a lag of maybe 30 seconds and they would go back down. The last time I turned them on, they went up and turned on just fine. Pushed in the headlight switch and the lights turned off but, the lights didn't go back down into the body. Both of them btw. Any easy diagnosis/fiises?

Perhaps the pivots need lubrication.
If you turn the knob on the end of the headlight motor it will cause the contacts to come off their parking spot and operate the motor. If it operates this way then....you have me stumped cause I'm no electrician. |
