Guys,
My headlights are not working, i.e they are not popping up. I have fogs. Would it be the relay? Any ideas before I start pulling relays etc. The fuses are all good! Chris |

internal switch cleaning described above may do the trick! I had a problem where one of the headlights would not go up and down without giving it a little help spinning the knob on the motor. I removed the motor to the workbench and opened up the gearbox that the wires go into. There are contacts inside there for limit switches. I found old grease and weak spring tension on some contacts. I cleaned and regreased the contacts and that restored proper function.
