S13 headlight issue

[skazat]

So heres a head scratcher with my pop up headlights.

-If my headlights are off and I hit the button to pop up the lights theres no problem.

-If I turn my headlights on before popping them up they wont pop up
(no biggie I just turn them off and pop them up then turn them back on)

-My headlights are on and popped up, I turn my brights on and the headlights go back down but the brights come on. :confused:

Id love for them to work properly but my main concern is why when I hit the brights (high beams) do the headlights lower.

They taking your headlamp switch apart and cleaning the connections. Keep me updated

Well I cleaned everything up and had my fingers crossed when I hooked it all up and still does the same thing.

Any other ideas?

check your harness that are under your fenders, if your running too big of wheels they will rub through and short. some 240s catch on fire so i would do the "sweet wire tuck" if you still havent...

Nah thats not a problem, I just picked up the car a month ago and this is like my 5th 240 so I knew to check the fender harness's. Its my first s13 though so Ive never had to deal with pop up headlights.

[Dima1127]

check for shorts. i never had this problem im just over here trying to help best i can lol if i think of anything els ill let you

[skazat]

lol thanks man. the wiring on the headlights looks kinda shoddy I guess I should re do them anyways. The fsm is just a cluster fuck when looking at the wiring diagram.

Try replacing the relays - sometimes they seem like they work but are not reliable.

Good luck man.
