Can someone please respond to this thread and help Greg out?
from Greg Oselinsky ozdogz at gmail dot com "I think the continuity issue I was asking about at the motor is normal. My problem is I believe some type of power backfeed issue but Im not sure. I have rewired new relay sockets into the car and used your color wiring diagram to get it all correct, thank you. I have also wired the headlight switch correctly from the diagram and my left headlight works perfectly, finally. The problem is connecting the right headlight. With the battery connected, a working relay in the socket, and the headlamp switch off, when I connect the wires from the left headlight to the right, the lights turn on and both start cycling continuously. I have 12v power at the red wire and the green/black wire at the left headlight with the switch off which I think is correct and the headlight works as it should. When I check the right headlight wires, same thing, 12v power coming across the wires from the left headlight on the red and green/black wires. I separated all the wires in the harness across the frunk and don't see any bare wires or anything strange. I have tried several different relays including a brand new one with the same result. What am I missing? For some reason when I connect that right headlight power is going through the whole thing and making the headlights turn on and motors run even with the switch in the off position." |
