Series 2 Headlight problem

Im Having a problem with my headlights. They work and go up and down alright but one is always up and the other is down....... tried unplugging the harness and manually winding the opposite light down or up, but as soon as it is plugged back in the lights will go back to one up and the other down. Has anyone had this problem, and can they tell me exactly whats going on

Cheers
Dan

Check your plugs on the headlight motors. There should be a cross or plus shaped one. Chack to make sure it isnt jammed on upside down. I have not had this problem but from what I can remember, the signal wire for down and the one for up are across from each other.

Hahah having the exact same problem at the moment. Wouldn't have a clue what's wrong, even an auto-electrician can't figure it out. Going to try and replace the motor that's not working properly.

anyone have anymore insight on this?
I'm having the same problem with my GSL-SE.
Both motors work, it just winks back & forth, one's up the other down & vice versa.
I tried checking the plugs & everything seems to be hooked up right.
