Title: Pop ups being wierd,
Post by: allstaruk on February 02, 2008, 03:46:31 PM
Right, I\'ve got a new problem with the pop up lights, when I turn them on the right one pops up and works fine, and the left one doesn\'t do anyting, then when the right one goes down the left one pops up then down.

Any one shed some light on this?

My first guess would be a dodgy earth somewhere in the circuit :)

Possibly but there gonna be on the same earth surely, and the lights all work it just pops up and down at the wrong time so the circuits ok

They get out of sync. My 1st gen does it all the time. Only way I can get round the problem is to switch the lights off and hand wind the light that is out of sync. Seems to be ok for a while then. I\'m going to try and ground both lights on a dedicated line. If its the same as the 1st gen then the grounding isn\'t common they both go to a panel on each side of the car.
