hi all ,OK I think my headlight relay is toast. is there anywhere else to get a replacement other than the really expensive NOS ones http://www.ebay.com/itm/330540736113?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 + where do I get the circuit breaker that has been removed on ALL the NOS ones thanks Phil
you can wire in the Bosch 5 pin relay to replace the OE ones. There is a thread here on the forum

think I should have said hidden headlight relay :yesnod: :slap:
have added hidden to subject :2thumbs:
Ok...let me see if I can find the diagram for that then....
here ya go...using Bosch relay & other parts probably less than $10 total
thanks that's exactly what I need :2thumbs: killed two birds with one stone as the next question was going to be what was the shinny spade at the top of the motor was (earth right) so I'll hook that up and start again :shruggy:
I did that diagram ;) great it helps !!
I think breakers can be found around at parts stores.
so here's what I've discovered , I have a three way switch that activates the headlight doors so iv got working headlights/doors :woohoo: I have no relay under dash :shruggy: all I found was flasher can next to ashtray have threaded holes next to can ,I'm thinking for relay bracket ? so have they bypassed the relay to mount 3 way switch ? last question should my headlight doors make an auditable noise when they get to the end of up/down (sounds like a gate slamming ,made me jump first time I hooked battery up and doors shut ) everything (doors /grill) lines up perfect but :2thumbs:
thanks Phil

Phil, did it come from the factory with this option? It almost sounds like someone did an exchange and dit not finish. Are door springs installed?
Bob
thanks Phil
where are the springs located ? its got like a watch spring around the activating rod on both sides of car (wind up one way ,unwinds the other ) and yes hidden headlights were added I think

Like you wrote, the springs are there and in the right location. The 3 way switch, is that power left and right and off in middle? You should also have a 5 amp breaker to keep from overloading the motor.
yes up /off/down ,will look for the breaker and if it doesn't have one get one and install .thanks for the advise :cheers: Phil

I would replace that switch with an original relay and breaker or the bosh relay as written already. Better than having a fire or burned up motor.
have ordered the repo one from charger specialties :2thumbs: where do I get the 5 amp breakers ? parts store here keeps trying to sell me fuses ,am I missing something in translation from us to Aussie e.g. bulb holder/ socket
searching on ebay:
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313&_nkw=mopar+circuit+breaker&_sacat=0&_from=R40
but dunno which is the amp rate on this specific function.
Part number 2983415 is a 5 amp.
