200sx S13

Nov 24, 2004 2 Replies

Recently bought a J reg 200sx as a project and the first problem I'd like to fix are the headlights. They'll come up when I switch them on but they won't go back down again unless I manually wind them down. Does anyone have any ideas or perhaps come across this problem before?



Thanks.


Check the retract relays in the box under the air intake. Relay 4 should be off, relay 3 should have power to coil. Circuit though relay 4 n/c and relay 3 n/o contacts supplies power to pin 2 on motor. Check wiring at headlamp timer and any dim dip or daytime lighting unit - two boxes behind ECU in pass side kick panel. Someone could have done a sleepy eye mod wrong and made it wide awake.
