Help! I have a 73 1/7L. My headlights will deploy and work fine, but only one retracts automatically. Which is cool as I can cruise the main drag and my car winks at girls as I pull the switch in and out. After I score all the babes I need with the winkin thing, how would I go about fixing this? Do I take chance on evilbay with a used headlight motor? Thanks for your help.

Yes I did. I gave you the easy "test" first. The headlight has diodes that tell it when to stop. If the diode is "leaking" the headlight will take off again. So.. the next easy step would be to clean the ground wire right next to the headlight motor. If this doesnt work... you may end up replacing that headlight motor (replacing the diode would be fine..I typcially replace the whole thing because I have parts).
Maybe somebody will chime in with a better solution. I hope its not the headlight switch going bad. B |
