C4 headlights
Ok for the love of god you guys I repaired my headlights or atleast i thought i did however one of them now is closing when it should be opening and vice versa. Now the only thing i can think of is maybe I put the brushes in backwards when I had the motor apart would that cause this to happen ? Or if you have any other suggestions i would appreciate it because I'm super duper angry right now and have been fighting with this pos all freaking day

They are DC motors right?
Just switch the ground with the positive on the connection to the motor? Any chance that you have the connector hooked up wrong? I'm not sure if that's even possible

By switching the wires will it cause it to go in reverse ? Id rather not have to do this ive read this is a very common problem but havent found any fricking resolution yet. Just looked it up dc current only works 1 way switching wires will do exactly jack and **** and jack left town
