Headlights keep blowing relays.
Howdy, I need some help. My passenger side headlight will actuate up but wont go down, and vise versa sometimes. I've replaced both relays to each headlight motor and to problem will go away for a while but then it'll just malfunction again later down the road (no pun intended). Is there some other reason why this keeps happening? I want to get down to the true root of the cause rather than wasting money on more relays.

You can disassemble to find out why.
See if the contacts are burned.
See if the coil has opened.
Once you discover which part of the relay is failing you can post to get further info.
