In early morning when dark my right eyelid is not opening, have to manually open it. What are the first things to check?

They are black round relays close to the motors / headlight buckets. I would swap them and see if they switch which one is working. If not a relay could be wiring - headlight switch - You have to be really really careful - those motors / mechanism can take a finger off You can manually raise and lower with the little black knob on top of the motor. If I remember correctly if you leave the relay in and slightly turn the knob on the motor it will operate up and down. (Could be wrong there) |
