So this 3x black turd gens headlights didnt work. So i got new dowel pins for the motors and set about replacing them. Did the right one first, cleaned out the sawdust from the old pins cleaned and greased everything put it together and worked great. The left hand requires removing the motor. All went well until I hook it up and the left doesnt work and right barely moves. WTF the right worked before. Nose around and discover the left motor very hot. So take it back apart and find nothing wrong. Hook it up to the right side wiring and it works, hook to left side wiring no workie.
Chris comes over for dinner and we start checking and nothing to one set out of the control module. AAUUUGh. Says do not open no repairable parts, well we open it and on the clear plastic relay box is a dark splotch, crack it open and ooh it smells so good. One of the 4 wires is completely disconnected. As we clean off the terminal the old soldier falls off in one big chunk COLD JOINT. So we resoldier the wire close up the module that has no repairable parts and everything works.
Turd gens are like plumbing. touch one thing and 3 other things break. even the light on my circuit tester blew out.
Sometimes having a son around is a good thing. thanks Chris.

 

Yes, but we wouldn't love our turd-gens half as much if we didn't have a fair amout of blood and sweat invested in them.
