My drivers side headlight motor was cycling. Then it stopped cycling and now goes up but it stays up. Good problem to have, in certain situations but not this one.
I put in a new relay, didn't solve the problem. Are the motors serviceable? i.e., can they be opened up, cleaned up and tested? Or should it just be replaced? |

Just had a similar problem but went through three relays (all bad even one new one). Used the “substitute known good one for bad one to confirm bad relay not motor.
That said, would be interested in a motor repair option as I do have one of those. |
