Hello

Just recently my headlamps have started going up and down in an unsynchronised manner! One pops up alone. I switch the lights off then on again and this time they both pop up although not simultaneoulsy. This seems to be the case when I flash my lights or when I use the console button to raise them without illuminating the lights. Once, one was reluctant to go back down!

Is there something I can do to make them go back to normal?

Keep on flicking them up and down, it's due to the small amounts of speed differences in the motors I believe. They should resync soon enough.

Not sure. I heard something similar from someone who had a loose connection on the back of the manual lights up/down button.

Gradually gone back to normal. Next time it is warm and sunny I will disconnect and spray some electrical cleaner into a few blocks. Must be a connection not quite right somewhere due to driving for a few months in salty spray. Yuck!
