Hi guys,

Finally running some power to the bumblebee and happy that almost everything is working as it should (turn signals, brakes, hazard lights, gas tank idiot light, etc). But the headlights are posessed...

– Headlight motors go down when stalk is pulled out, and up when pushed in (verified wiring is correct at switch and headlight motors).

– Headlights don't come on in either position (neither hi nor low beams

– Instrument lights don't come on

– Left turn tail light comes on solid

– Brake lights light

Using a new switch (old switch behaved the same). I've been checking my prospero's wiring diagram and all looks well. Thinking it must be a relay, but I'm scratching my head. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion. I wish it were that easy. Pics below. Motors are in proper orientation and wires are color-to-color. I also bench tested the up/down action of these motors with jumpers before installing in the car...and after. It's also the fact that the lights won't turn on that's causing me to scratch my head. FYI...these are LED headlights. The car is wired for foglights, but they're not in yet. Could there be some sort of grounding needed through the fog light circuit which requires the lights to be installed before everything works?
