Reply to "Head lights will not go down"

RR,my problems in the past with Pantera headlights not working properly mostly stemmed from someone using the wrong spade-lug on the headlight switch for power. There are a number of powered spade lugs available on the switch but only one will work correctly. The schematic may be correct but it is not as good as a photo in this regard. And it's well known that there are at least four schematics with different published dates, all with small differences.

The other problem is the fact that the headlight-raising motor is designed to run ungrounded but there is only one very short wire provided. There is an excessively tricky composite grommet/isolater with a spade lug that is supposed to isolate the hot power wire, prevent vibrations from cracking the short wire while still connecting to the motor windings. I've found these cracked and either open or partially grounded. I discard the grommet & spade lug and use a common in-line double female connector, well insulated, with a tie-wrap to vibration-proof the short motor wire to a stock power wire.
