I have been trying to get my car ready for the Tatton show. I needed to get an MOT done, all was well apart from the headlights..... When I turned them on this happened...... Right up, pause, left up, ok not end of the world, then I turned the lights off....... Left down, pause, right down, pause, right up 1/2 way, down, up, down then up a little bit, poor car looked like it had been punched. As I am into electrical/electronics stuff I thought I would have a go at fixing the problem. After removing the headlight "Retractor control" from next to the wiper motor I set about stripping it down..... First carefully lift up the 4 tabs fitted to the cover.....
Now slide out the PCB.....
First of all I removed the relay contact covers.....
And then cleaned the contacts.
....
I then fixed
(re-soldered) any dry joints I found, there were a few.....
And finally mended a broken pin on the connector.
....The problem.
....
The fix.
.....
Hopefully this will be helpful to anyone with a similar problem!
