Reverse Pop Up's ?

Post by 480-clone » Fri Apr 26, 2013 6:36 pm

Hello, I have checked the motors, the wiring and the switch and my only thought now is the relay unit.
However, before I went and sourced one I wished to check here first.
The fault I have is when I switch the lights ON the pop ups go down, when I turn the lights OFF they go up !!!
With the relay removed I can bridge the circuits and the pop up and down as happy as can be so this is why i deduced a relay fault ?

if anyone can confirm this I would be appreciative.

Many thanks,

Eddie

This is so easy to fix you dont buy anything when you realise what is happening you will kick yourself :lol:

there is absolutely nothing wrong with the electrics. :lol:

take a 10mm spanner and loosen the connector from motor to head lamp unit its is just 180 degrees out of where it should be. So loosen reposition and tighten up and jobs done :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

dont worry it happened to me so I know exactly whats wrong ;)
