This is specific to the left side

Light switch is OFF

headlight motor switch is OFF

trouble shooting in the FSM is pretty shitty. all relays swapped out with good relays, no change.

left T.S. plug:

12v-ground cont.-12v

ground cont.-N/A-ground cont.

video was short but, seems like its timed exactly how the factory alarm would go off. cleaning the switch wouldnt be a bad idea since they are prone to issues.

Thanks, went through the whole disarm-arm-disarm and they work… except they only complete 1/4 of the actuation F'nPOS

pulled the column light switch and it's all clean

Headlight motor relay is clicking over good

have power at harness side of plug. and good signal to motors when in ON position.

Jumped the grounds and no change.

I'm thinking the motors could be fried?

Here's the problem with testing the motors. The 88 FSM still references 8 plug connectors of the 84-86, while the 87-89 used 6 pin connectors. Going to grab the 89 off Xenons page and see if it;s updated

89 FSM has updated motor check procedure

Turned out to be gunky connections inside the assembly between the 'fingers' and the 'dial'

right light is still a bit laggy, so i'll try and snap some pics of that tomorrow
