Resolved 1Ga Popup headlight problem

[coop1985]

I have looked all over this site and google and can not find an answer. When I turn my headlights on the left one goes up as normal, but does not go back down when I turn them off. The left one just goes up and down like crazy. I can adjust them with the red knobs in the bay perfectly fine, so they are not seized. Right now I just have them unplugs and set to about just over 1/2 way up. Do you guys have any ideas what could be causing my dilemma.

This fixed my popup issue. Thanks for the good photos and links to parts guys. Mine would go up fine but would go down and then pop back up 1/4 of the way.

C3 capacitor was leaking. Could only tell after I desoldered it and looked at the bottom. Replaced both pairs.

I learned today that the long leg of the capacitor is the + side which corresponds to the + symbol on the board. I used solder-wick to free up the legs. Cleaned everything with rubbing alcohol and put some deoxit on the R6 pins.

Never replaced board components before but have watched Tronicsfix do repairs on game systems. Now I can show off my Popups again.

I am glad to hear your pop up’s are fixed. Mine are still going strong after my repair almost 5 years ago now.
