Suggestion
I would start by checking the headlight connector - they are notorious for becoming unclipped from the bracket in the wing, and giving a poor connection.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The OS litonic headlight adjust motor on my 996 has stopped working. All the lights work but the beam height does not adjust when the high beam is selected. Anybody had a similar experience? Cheers

POST 2Original post

I would start by checking the headlight connector - they are notorious for becoming unclipped from the bracket in the wing, and giving a poor connection. If that doesn't cure it, a diagnostic check will tell you if the motor is faulty. New motors are about £95+VAT. Ouch! [ ]

POST 3Original post

Hi Gordon, I am also based in Belfast. I can have a look for you if you want. I fixed the faulty motor on mine. Min

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have listened to the motors in each light unit. The NS motor which works fine sounds different to the OS motor. The OS motor sounds laboured. but a least it sounds like it is running. The OS light does not move however. (dip to main beam) So I think at least all the connections must be OK. Going to have another look at the mechanism inside light unit see if anything is binding. Gordon

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Took it all apart, Took motor out. Reassembled everything. Now its working !. So is there an intermittent fault or a dodgy connector issue?. Cheers

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
