67 Charger headlight woes

If I recall its much like a turn signal flasher, once it heats up the bimetal spring opens the contacts . And those contacts get crusty. And then you have resistance. Poor performance

That sounds like your onto something! I am going to get the wife involved tommorow and have her throw the switch inside as I measure the motor amperage draw and will pop back with the figures. My motors seem to both work at the same speed altough the drivers side starts the roll first I imagine being first in the series could be normal. Thanks to everyone on here I used to live in Toronto and moved out to the boonies here so very much on my own lol and dont want to damage the poor old girl.

I had the same problems. Everything new and rebuilt. All new wiring. Would work once and then nothing, then it wouldn't work at all. Everything checked out on its own...grounds...everything. Cried myself to sleep multiple times lol. So I went to the dark side and ended up making my own system ( I think others have too, but I 'm not sure how it compares to what they've done) So I bypassed the relays in the glove box and just used the wire coming off of the headlight switch to control the new relays I put under battery tray. The only thing that doesn't work now is the hold open, which is fine with me because I like the way they look closed better. And if I need to change bulbs I'll just open them and disconnect the battery. Is it original?..no..but I don't care because they open and close every time now haha. That with Crackedback's headlight bulb harness, my lights are better than ever. I just hooked up the hold open switch as an on/off for my backup camera

Wait, hold on...... Did someone mention a backup camera?

How did you make out, did you find the problem?
