Default Headlights

Both of my headlights pop up at the same time, but when I turn them off, the driver's side always goes down first. All the vacuum hoses seemed to be hooked up with no cracks. What do I need to do to get them both to go down at the same time?

Nothing to complain about here! :nonod:

What's the delay between left & right? As a matter of fact I'm amazed both go up at the same time. And you're lucky they go down at all!!! :smash:

The right one will not move until the left one is all the way down. They both go up and down fairly quick.

Try swapping around the two headlight actuator relays. If this reverses what is happening then it's a relay. Not necessarily a bad relay, just a weaker one. The rubber diaphragms will break down with age until it will no longer function. Hope this helps. :)

Ben.

Check the springs 4 on each headlight, my '72 had one fast and one slow. I was looking for adjuster and noticed 1 spring hanging down, found I was missing 3 and had 2 broke, so replaed all 8 and now they both jump up and down :yesnod:
