Does anyone know of an aftermarket relay that controls the headlight motors? I've already tried cleaning them but they won't go up, unless I reach down and tap the reed to the contacts with my fingers.I just bought the car about a month ago and it didn't have a cover on this relay. I'm sure it got kicked a few times while the passengers got in and out of the car. If nothing is available aftermarket, then how much $ am I looking at? Thanks- any help is much appreciated--

Stock relays are cheaply available from all the usual Pantera parts suppliers including the host of this web page. Be aware that there are multiple problems with the headlight erection mechanism on many Panteras, including shorts in the peculiar wiring to the motor, alignment adjustments to keep the lights from jiggling on bumpy roads and geartrain breakages, as well as fuse holder corrosion that stops current to the motor. The limiting microswitches in front routinely get burned contactts but disassemble for cleaning, and the headlight switch itself burns out.
