Jack, I was really hoping and this made some sort of warped sense to me but no luck. This is easy to confirm because as soon as I reconnected the negative cable, the headlights dutifully popped back up. Just for fun, I switched relays and tried it again with the same result.

Lapponia, for background. This started with headlights that went berserk when I turned them off (up down up down...). Previous experience tells me this was from the contacts on the inside of the motor or the relay. I replaced the relay with the same results and then switched to a backup motor I had. Somewhere in the exchange, the headlights wouldn't go down and I didn't realize I had blown the down headlight fuse. I ordered a new relay, not original but from Napa, and started all over. That brought to where I am now. Is it somehow possible that the motor itself needs to be changed back out? The symptoms are the same with all three relays in place which leads me back to the motor. Unless I am missing something, I will change that back out again soon.

Thanks for all the help!
