My calais flip lights have somehow malfunctioned and are going up and down continuously, even with the key off. It looks funny but my battery doesnt think so. Help.

Just disconect the motors as a temporary measure. You'll probibly find that your relay is faulty. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

the relay is located just infront of the battery, disconnect this and the flip lights wont move. that is one of the strangest things ive heard on this forum. andrew

Sometimes water can enter the connector plug to the "Pop Up" headlight motor and it can cause this continous "up and down" even if the headlights are not even turned on. It has happened to me after I washed my car and I simply unpluged the relay and then unpluged the headlight motor plug and let it dry out then reconnected it and taped the plug up so no water can enter it and it has'nt happened anymore. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Mine are playing silly buggers too, they didnt work at all the other day and now they have come back online- must've been the dirty look or colourful language :roll: Now I just have to figure out why the left one doesnt close entirely flush, it seems to have dropped on the outside hinge or something...anyone had this?
