NA Headlight Motor power

Postby Dweezle » Sat Jun 18, 2016 7:21 pm

Yeah. Me again

So dealing with my pop up issues I have found wiring diagrams which showed the pins on the headlight motor.

A is Ground
C is motor up
D is motor down

When i apply 12v to the pins i only hear a click.
This happens on both motors.

I am assuming the click is a internal relay switching but something is stopping the motors moving.

The headlights work with the manual winder.

Any help much appreciated.

Figured all this out.

The book fails to mention that 12v also need to be applied as a constant to another pin.

So 2 x 12v sources required.

All sorted and headlights work a treat!!
