I have been tackling hideaway headlights issues I have had on my 72 and here is the list of work previously done.

-Replaced headlight switch and dimmer switch as both were melted.
-Installed @Crackedback headlight harness
-Replaced under dash headlight relay

After I installed Crackedback headlight harness the hideaway doors opened and would not close after turning off the switch.

Next step I tried is installing a replacement Bosch relay.

Am I wiring it correctly? Is this the correct Bosch relay. I have it grounded at the steering column ground.

Lights both work but doors will not open or close.

Not the correct relay replacement for that application, needs to be a SPDT relay, for a Bosch style, center terminal need to labeled 57a, not 57.
