Re: Flip up Lights not flipping

Actually, this is a pretty easy fix. My first Talon did this back in 1998, so I can imagine most would be worse by now.

Take out the headlight, take off the plastic side covers and disconnect the motor from the headlight. If you pull up and down on the light you'll probably feel a bunch of resistance. There are several points where the arms that allow the light to move up and down connect and they get corroded. Spray each of these point liberally with some PB blaster or WD40 and keep moving the headlight up and down until it moves easily. Put everything back together, project done.
