S1 - Headlight - odd pop up problem

[Sunbeam Fanatic]

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone knew if the S1 Esprit has some sort of microswitch which contacts when the pop up headlight is fully up?

I ask as my S1 has developed an odd fault where when I put the lights on both headlights pop up as they should but the driver side one reaches full travel then closes right down before popping up again and staying up! It's almost like it's winking!

Any advice much appreciated as always.

Cheers,

SF

Hi

The switch is inbuilt into the headlamp lift motor, by taking the side panel off you can check the contacts, also check the relay and it's connectors, the relay connectors are prone to rusting

Many thanks, I'll give it a go.
