    Hello

    As i came into the garage both headlights were winking continuously.

    The reason was a short circuit between lifting wire and lowering wire.

    INSIDE the luggage compartment relay panel. Between 87 and 87a for relay E D13.

    I decided at first to solve it at first with a wire from the relay to the cable for the motor. For this i took out the contact out of the outgoing connector. Then i soldered a wire directly on the 87a relay contact to connect with the open output cable to the motors.

    Thanks to Ian for the excellent electrical plans!

    Does anybody have a picture of the inside of the relay panel?

    I think all should describe their tricky mistakes of the car here in the forum, not even if there is a question.

    I hope, this Description helps anybody who has this problem.

    Relay E? Isn't that the high beam (lamp) relay?

    Lifting/lowering is done by motor relay B (E6) and motor relay C (E10) in conjunction with D (E13). Lifting is when D is energised and lowering is when D is de-energised.

    Bravo for solving it :D I'm not sure I would have been able to figure it out.

    Good luck finding a picture of the internals.

    Yes. You are right. Relay is D E13.
