i have had my clocks out and so on, and when i put them back in my headlights poped up and they will not go down! looked at alot of fuses and so on... but now i am stuck..
any help? :)
thanks
steven
did you connect your headlight pop switch back on ???
yeah i did mate!
is everthing else working as normal on the dash ?
yeah everything else is fine mate, lights still come on aswell, just dont know why they will not go down :S
have you got a switch on your dash top right hand corner that puts your lights up and down but does not turn them on
yeah thats is there mate! and when i push it in and out, nothing happens.
isnt there a relay for the popups ?
yeah there is mate, but i dont know how to check them?
either that or the connection for the popup button isnt pushed in correctly
with this dissconected in a MX5 they will popup when you turn the light on but never return down.
well i have tried to push it in as hard as i can to make sure!
posibly your relay then
when you turn your lights on and off duz the relay click ?

have another fiddle on there - remove dash and just check if you can...
also to test relay just take it out and insert it back in while its running or ignition is on (if you hear it clicking its working ok)..
tbh mate i have not got someone to do it while i listen!
what realy is it? (where abouts i mean)
what dose it mean if it dose click?
it all seems a bit odd tho why some thing would work fine and then just stop.

you can do it yourself leave igniton on or engine running and pull relay out and re insert it should click on refitting it as the system is live..
if it clicks your fault is elsewere..
do you know what one it is mate?

you need to pop up in few weeks to our unit my new GTR arrives soon;)
yeah i think i might do that mate :P
If the switch does nothing, maybe faulty or feed wire has broke or come off, if not then must be a faulty retract relay, or broken wire to it, you could pull off the red/yellow wire on the retract relay and give it 12v to see if they go down, if they do would think it is the relay.
I had the same problem with mine mate, Had the dash apart & when I fitted it all back together the lights came up & operated as normal, but when I turned them off the lights whent off but didnt\'t drop! Turned out that I had actualy opend up the switch slightly (wire plug was in OK) but because the switch unit had opend it wasn\'t completing the circuit!
Pop the dash off again & check you haven\'t done the same as me... literaly push the unit back & it will all click into place & work as normal!!
Jono
you mean the actual pop up switch mate?
yea.... the back of the switch had opend on mine!!
looked at the front relay box in the engine bay, and under where is says retrac relay, there is nothing there :S so i am not sure if it is some where else? spotted a relay beside the main "big" fuse box??
steven
can you wind them down with the windy down thingies? (i\'m so specific it\'s scary!)
If you want a hand bud i can pop over at the weekend and have a look?
i have not tryed mate! if you have time that would be great!
thanks
steven
No probs bud, will be sat if thats good for you? Text me your postcode and house number and i\'ll pop down.
text on the way mate!
steven
did you ever sort this???
yeah i did mate lol was the wrong connecting block!
the wrong connect block was connect behind the clocks?
yes it was bud, there are a couple of connectors that are the same behind the dash, after spending a few hours trying to fix this we gave up in the end. Then Stephen took the dash apart again and tried a different connector block and hey presto. Have you removed the dash recently?
Yes.......yes I have LOL
LOL, you made my chuckle. Well, enjoy taking it all apart again bud! Me and Stephen swapped dash\'s recently in a day, so i feel your pain bud, I really do.
