Paul, when it does that, does it help to tap the headlamp motor with a blunt object?

Motor might have a dead spot.. much like a starter.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/agree.gif) also, make sure the contacts on the relay socket are clean and not corroded ...

i once had a solder come lose on the motor itself and it would only sporadically make contact.
might be worth checking those as well ...
