Hey guys, my pass. side goes up slower than my drivers side. It happened a little after I install my toggle switch for "cheaP" sleepy eyes. Sometimes if I leave the switch on "ON" long enough they both go up at the same time. I don't think my motor/hydraulics oif the light are bad; just the signal. Are there any radioshack parts I can use to increase the signal strength to my pass. side headlight?

i think thats what makes time travel possible,

but you need 1.8 gigawatts.. GREAT SCOTT !!

jeeez... it's 1.21 gigawatts (pronounced jiggawatts)..

i'd suggest eliminating the toggle switch and see what happens. :)

hmmm....if you buy a new car and put the switch on it, it would work!

If it is someting electrcal try rplacing the button or checking all the wires and connections to the motor

I think my wires just had a bad connection. I was fooling around w/ em and I think I'm good to go again! Thanks for all the tips!

You probably had a grounding problem that you fixed when you messed around with it.

i think it's hella loose though...Is there anyway I can make sure this grounding is perfectly stable(so it won't drop out when I hit a bump).

Find a good grounding point, drill and solder.

don't need to solder, find a good factory ground and slip a crimp on connector below it. Simple, replaceable, easily removeable if you have to change something, and if you use a good klein crimper that uses a W crimp it will be stronger than solder.
