[Bricklin] Headlight diagnosis

[isensee at aol.com]

 Thanks to all who helped. It turned out just to be a hose that had popped
off.

The original system is still working after 35 years and no parts have ever
needed to be replaced so I think I will stick with it.

Scott,

Here's a link.  It's got a pretty good trouble shooting procedure:

http://www.corvette-101.com/vacuum.htm

Basically the lights are raised by the actuactors.  The actuactors get the
vac.
from the relay.  So I'd check to see of you get a change in vac. at the
control
port (top) of the relay.  If not, then there's a start.

If you do, check the output of the relay?  If you have vac. there, then I'd
suspect
a bad seal or broken diaphram in the actuactor.

Might be time to convert to Terry's air headlights. :)
