I got a blinkie.

The left headlight on my Vette has all of sudden decided to come up on its own while i'm driving down the road. I spent some time yesterday going through the whole vacuum system checking the hoses and everything seemes alright. I replaced the Actuators a couple of years ago because Bubba had put two right side ones on the car and one was scratching my hood. I did a search here on the CAC and found i may have a bad relay.I assume the relay "tells" the actuator to lift/lower the headlight. I guess i'm off to the store to buy a vacuum tester today. Anybody have any insight on this problem and can help me out. Thanks in advance..Craig


Maybe this is a good time to call my buddy Chris and order the Killer Lights Conversion.

Correct. Check the relay.

Well i swapped out the headlight relay with the wiper door relay. I'm going to a car show this weekend,hopefully the headlight will stay down. I found a good troubleshooting guide in one of the many books i own but i haven't had the time to put it to use yet.

Sometimes my wiper door opens when I start the car, then closes. Relay problem also?

Here is an easy way to test it. Take a short piece of vacuum hose and attatch it to the top small post on the relay. Remove the other three hoses(remember where they go). Suck on the other end of your vacuum hose and it will be very apparent if your relay is bad.
