i have a few questions about my 240!and i searched!my slow window wiper mode doesn't work.drivers side power window works for both passenger and drivers but the passenger switch doesn't work.im assuming i need a new switch for the window..

the last thing is my passengers headlight when put down in lower then the hood and fender because of a minor accident.what would the best way be to make it flush?

thanks in advance!! btw i have a 1989 240sx hatch back and am totally in love with her

The wiper switch is probably worn out. like the headlight gets sometimes. Disassembling it and cleaning the contacts might help, or a replacement.

Make sure the window lock on the driver side isn't faulty. But I think if it was, the switch on the driver side wouldn't work either. I forget, but maybe a new switch on that side too. That or a wiring problem

For the light, the hood sounds like it's off a little bit, maybe loosening and adjusting the bolt on the hinges and adjusting the hood?OR the lid for the light can be "bent" a little to compensate.The headlight lids have 4 tabs for the screws that hold it on I mean, bend them slightly in the other direction to help.

pics would help too

hey thanks for the reply i got the headlight higher but its still pushed back i guess ill have to try and bend it out a bit.i cleand the contacts and it didnt help.the drivers window doesn't go down when you locks on so ill just have the get a switch i guess and ill pick up a new window wiper switch while im at it.

im not to sure how to go about bending the headlight assembly forward tho.ill get pics as soon as im down painting

thanks
