I got the 914 back from my wrench 2 weeks ago and have been driving it in daylight only. This morning I leave earlier than normal and decide to turn on the headlights. The driver's side opens normally but the passenger side stays closed. I didn't really need them so I turned them off and continued my trip.
I got home about an hour ago and started troubleshooting as best I could. I checked all fuses and relays, including swapping in a known good relay. No joy. The lights worked fine when it went to the shop. I know this because I had to replace a fuse I had kicked out by mistake one afternoon. Any suggestions on what to do next? If I get in a bind, is there a way to manually open the light? Any and all help is much appreciated. |

QUOTE(stateofidleness @ Sep 16 2007, 06:29 PM)  where is this knob? hmm On the dash, left side below the vent to turn the lights on. In the picture below there is a knob to adjust the headlight manually, up and down.. Photo is not the best quality, but you get the idea. Attached thumbnail(s)
