Left headlight relay failure


Posti

Recommended Posts

I took the Reatta out to my Mom's today and had a great drive - no issues with the brakes.  However, when I left for home tonight, the left headlight would only come up halfway.  I tugged at it, but it would not come up fully.  I repeated opening and closing the headlights, but the left headlight would only come up halfway and then stop solidly.  I opened the hood, and immediately determined that the fault was due to a relay.  Ummm.  The fuel pump relay I replaced three weeks ago and accidentally left laying in the front of the engine bay behind the left headlight.  It was caught between the headlight door when the headlights opened up.  Once I removed it, the headlight worked properly again.  :grin.

Dat's a good von. I think it should be in the repair section :)

It appears you had an electomecanical problem. I guess they call them electromechanical relays for a reason! :)
