Well, after driving the car for six months I have a new bug....
Headlight doors are not opening up correctly when the headlights are activated.
It happened early on and after opening them manually a few times the problem went away until now.
Symptoms:
Headlights come on, doors try to open but get “stuck” somewhere in the cycle. Relay in dash starts “beeping”, ammeter shows slight drain.
Temporary remedy involves manually working the knob under the motor that shows little resistance and occasionally “helps” with the motor turning for a few quick spins.
Turn off the lights and the doors close flawlessly.
First diagnosis:
FSM says nothing helpful for diagnosis only which parts need replacing. It does explain the function very well.
Thinking I have a bad connection at the headlights switch.
