1988 Honda Accord 207K
My retractable lights oscillate. It used to do it ocassionally and now happens more than 50% of the time. It seems as if the motor has a limit switch or in position switch with a knob to manually rotate the motor by hand. I first thought the in position switch was bad but if that is the case, why would both sides oscillate at the same time. I suspect that the motor is overrunning the in position switch.
Is there a way to slow the motor down? I suspect not. I pulled the fuses and manually rotated the lights up and then found that the Battery light on the dash was on. Are they related? Any ideas here?
I cannot find a schematic for this circuit anywhere. Are these available anywhere?
Is Chiltons the best manual for this sort of thing or does Honda sell something that actual mechanics would use?
I made a small donation but I am not sure what is customary.
Thanks for any help.
