Left Light Won't Pop Up.

[msherry21]

HELP, my left light won't pop up and I don't know how to fix it!

I've tried another retractor relay(turquoise box) but its not fixed it. the right one goes up and down no problem and both lights light up...What could the problem be and can it be solved by buying something from Halfords today rather than waiting for someone to get it in stock?

thanks and any help appreciated.

does the light try to lift up? any noise or slight movement?

get a multmeter on it.

It did sound like a fault from the relay

but as it is not, it's got to be something before the relay.

[msherry21]

even if the right one still goes up?

Doesn't sound like its trying to go up.

can you not manually wind it up for tonight mate so at least your not stuck with a duff headlight??

[msherry21]

I should be able to Jim, I'm gonna rip the %$(er out tomorrow and check all the wiring! Intercooler arrives on Tuesday!!!!!

[msherry21]

I can crank it up fine.

Right, I've taken out the light, cleaned all connections, I can't take the motor our cause 2 screws won't budge. anymore help?

How can I test the motor?

[jaxx]

can you drop a 12volt source over the connections?

[msherry21]

where would I get a 12v source from in that area?

[jaxx]

theres a Battery about 2 foot away from you

make a couple of fly leads and tap them across the pins see what happens. Just dont touch them together

[msherry21]

DOH, good thinking!
