I have a problem with my '88 944 headlights. The headlights should stay down with the headlight switch at position 1 (sidelight position) and only come up when switched to position 2. Unfortunately, with the ignition on or off and the headlight switch at position 1 the headlight pods are up and there is a dim glow from the headlights. I have tried changing the headlight motor relay and the headlight switch but there is no difference. I need them to stay down at position 1 (sidelights) or there not to be any power to the headlight bulbs at position 1. Am I missing something here, is it possible there is a simple fix or is it more likely that a previous owner has tried a bit of DIY and done it badly? :banghead:

the dim glow you are seeing in the headlight bulbs is probably not power, it's most likely something else in the car drawing ground through the headlight bulbs because of a bad ground somewhere else. iv'e got a service manual if you need grounding points on your car let me know. i would start following all the brown wires you see and looking for loose or corroaded ring-terminals or broken wires.
