Stupid healights.. yes, flip up problems..

[Two Fowty]

Just got new flips ups (used) + motors (used). My old ones didn't work, or so I thought.

Hooked them up, long story short, the lights only flip up when I turn on highbeams, or push the button in the dash. They don't go down at all unless I manually turn them with the nob on the motor. Also, the passenger side light only flips up half way, whereas the driver side flips up all the way.

I read some threads on here about the lights not going down, and only working with highbeams and the button, so I'm sure I can fix that. The main problem I'm lookin at is the passenger light going up only halfway, any ideas?

possibly a bad headlight switch?

I used to have a bad headlight switch... it caused only one of my headlights to pop up and only one light would turn on...

you sure all the connectors are secured/ grounded?

[Two Fowty]

are you referring to the little button in the dash, next to the steering collumn kinda?

and the grounds for the motors are secure and good

[adrianfromthecastle]

I'm referring to the actual combination switch itself.

did you happen to check out this?zerothread?id=280461I had a different problem, but this sounds like it might fix yours also... maybe.

did you check the fuse?, but it mostlikely could be the switch

yea i tried to do the cleaning thing in that link, and i couldnt even get the white piece out to even do anything, so i quit and put it back together, and now my high beams and turn signals dont work. fml. these cars are annoying
