OK. My new motor is in and it works fine if you hot wire it. So the gear spacing, the transmission, and the limit switches are not at fault.
I have not installed the new relay system yet. One thing at a time. I'm still stock but my 100 wat Hella headlamps are going to make the ignition switch very unhappy. So the relays will go in.
I had the headlamp motor relay clicking away when I turned on the light switch before. Now nothing.
Since all of these shenanagans I have lost response to that relay.
The fuse appears to be fine and unblown but as a matter of course I will replace it. (This is where the new blade fuse box would help. For all I know the fuse is loose to the freakin' I-talian fuse box contact arm gizmos', that one was for you DT). No rubber band on that one.
My first concern here is to get the relay to respond (click). I can also change the plug connectors on the wires to the limit switches.
They don't look too good.
If this doesn't work I may embark on a campaign of drive by Pizza establishment shootings.
I know it won't help but...nah forget about that.
