Hi Guys, my wedge has developed the ability to wink when turning on the lights - only the nearside pod rises up but all the lights are working normally. This has happened intermitantly before and cured itself, but not now. Due to all the clicking noises coming from the passenger footwell I think it may be the motor relay sticking. I cant find any info on the forums about what sort of relays they are - can anyone advise please, or has anybody a spare I can purchase? The MOT is due in a week or so and I would like it all fixed by then.
Cheers, Tim

Hi mate.. Most of the relays are the same so you should be able to nick one from the horn or the like to test..From memory they are 5 pin...


Shop around as some are really expensive now...
Check one of yours against these...

If all fails then manually wind up the pods for the MOT...Remove the relays though....smile

It could also be the switch contacts in the motor. It always has been when I've had this problem. May be worth a try before you start buying relays etc as it only costs a bit of time. Cheers Steve.
