I've read in order to close the vehicle has to be running or ignition at least in the "ACC" position.  I tried what you suggested on mine and the doors still will not close.

Thanks for trying.

Maintenance / 1967 RSSS Hide-a-way headlights

« on: September 07, 2018, 04:36:44 PM »

I recently purchased a 1967 RSSS with all electric hide-a-way headlights.  Been fixing small things until now.  The headlight doors will open, headlights come on both high and low beam when the light switch is pulled out.  With the ignition switch in ACC or started and I push in the headlight switch in, the headlights go off but the doors don't close.  I looked back at a headlight post and found the wiring diagram and some fixes.  I replaced all three relays, horn relay and headlight pull switch but the doors will not close.  Side note, the horn doesn't work either and I have a new horn relay.  The new relay had "BAT" on one post so I put the positive cable from the battery to that side (just like the old one).  The new relay gets VERY VERY hot.  WHY??? Because the doors open and I manually close them, I assume the motors are good.
What am I missing?  What's going on?? Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
