ok, usually, if i trun my headlights on, even with the engine off, they popup. now after letting it sit for awhile, they wont pop up unless the engine is on. afterwards, they popup fine, even when the engine is dead, it only happens after i havnt used them in a while, anyone know whats goin on?

 

has this ever happened to anyone esle

 

ive had my bird for coming up to 4 years & aint had any problems with mine(seems to be the only thing i aint broke lol) , have u checked the batt, wiring , fuses ,headlamp motors ?

 

The problem is the 3 gel inserts inside the large nylon gear that raises the headlight have gone bad. You need a headlight repair kit. I manufacture two versions which are on my web site. This kit only repairs the 1987-1992 units. The 1982-86 have a different headlight unit using 2 smaller gears.

hi, all my fun revolves around my pass side motor. i bought a new one and it still dont work!plugged it in my dr-side ---then--fine!same with the old one,now,could it possibly be the relay is bad or are there two?one for each side???? HELP!!!! brad:hail:

 

oh man, I thougt I was the only one with this problem, one side works, the other doesn't. Switching the "bad" stuff to the "good" side makes it work, and switching the "good" stuff to the "bad" side makes it not work. Is tehre some computer that controls these things?

 

i dont know.i researching the site for more info on them! my manual (chilton) says there are relays and such,but hopefully i can FINGER it out soon.....
anyone beable to help?????? thanks a ton!! brad

 

on 87-92 birds, the relays are inside the headlight door module

 

82'-86' birds use three seperate external relays:
