Got a little problem with the 400SE with the dreaded pop up lights again! Mine come up together no probs and the lights work correctly. When you turn them off the lights go off as they should but both pods stay up and I have to wind them down by hand. Done the usual stuff like check fuses and relays, the diodes seem all ok (Checked with an AVO)

Anyone had this problem and cured it?

Thanks in advance!

Sounds like you may have a crusty connector somewhere, so the pod motors aren't seeing the signal to wind down.
If it was something like a stuck control relay, then as soon as the pods got to the bottom, they'd wind back up again...
