Hello
Whilst trying to get my car ready for the Tatton show, I needed to get an MOT done, all was well apart from the headlights.....

When I turned them on this happened......

Right up, pause, left up, ok not end of the world, then I turned the lights off.......

Left down, pause, right down, pause, right up 1/2 way, down, up, down then up a little bit, poor car looked like it had been punched.

As I am into electrical/electronics stuff I thought I would have a go at fixing the problem.

After removing the headlight "Retractor control" from next to the wiper motor I set about stripping it down.....

First carefully lift up the 4 tabs fitted to the cover.....




Now slide out the PCB.....



First of all I removed the relay contact covers.....



And then cleaned the contacts.....



I then fixed (re-soldered) any dry joints I found, there were a few.....



And finally mended a broken pin on the connector.....

The problem.....



The fix......




Hopefully this will be helpful to anyone with a similar problem!
