The headlights on my 1987 GTA seem to want to "go down" when I encounter rough roadways (bumps). WTF? Has anyone encountered this and is it a worn out piece that helps hold the lights in position or does it have something to do with the mechanism that delivers the headlights to their up and down position? I was told that it is an "air" system that puts them up and down but haven't checked that out and the dud is a moron... Thoughts, Thanks,
If the motor seems solid then it could be the headlight module. On your firewall, near the brake booster, there should be a square box with wires going into the front on both sides. That controls your headlights when they go up and down. There is a relay inside it. Take it apart and make sure nothing is burned off or disconnected...
Mods so far: MSD Cap and rotor, MSD ignition coil, Accel 8.8mm ignition wires, Hooker Super Comp Shortie Headers, Flowmaster 3in catback, underdrive crank pulley, custom cold air intake, NOS wet 125 shot, air foil and a lead foot! no E/T's yet. ...TURBO COMING SOON...Other mods include keyless entry and remote start, and Sequential Turn Signals.
Could also be sloppy mechanical linkage, the lifting arm.
On my driver's side, that is what mine is. Fully up, I can wiggle it up/down about 1/2". Nothing wrong with my motor or controller. Just slop in my linkage.
