Hey y'all, I have a new to me 1965 Riviera with headlight visors that will not close. This forum has been a huge help so far and I've followed the suggestions of Seafoam65 in testing all wiring and relays (all look good). I suspect the motor itself is burned out, but I am wondering if theres anything else I can test before I send it out for replacement/ rebuild.
I have power on the brown wire all the way to the microswitch on the motor, but not downstream of it (I'm assuming the closed switch prevents that). Is it possible a microswitch could be bad and not the motor? Has anyone had luck rebuilding the motor themselves? If not, I'd happily take suggestions of where to find a replacement visor motor.
In the attached picture of the motor, I'm showing the only wire that does not have power when it should (headlights off). All wires have correct power with headlights on.
Also, the pictures of wires and relays show hot wires with headlights on (Red) and hot wires with headlights off (Yellow).
I just joined the ROA a few days ago and am trying to do my homework on the past Riview's. Theres a ton of great info available and I'm happy to have this as a resource.
Thanks for the help,
