Weird problem with passenger headlight

I have an 88 GTU. Whenever i turn my headlights off (flip my headlights down), the passenger light flips up and down on its own for like 5-10 seconds, even after i turn the car off. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I have the same problem! I put and S4 passenger motor onto my S5. I'm leaning towards it being a bad ground for the motor or a loose jumper wire/plug.

Find the plug and clean the contacts. If that doesn't fix it maybe get a new relay. You see it on the headlight motor end of the harness. I've got a spare too if you need it.

Well, my car hasn't been doing this lately. The jumper Iplaced must be making good contact now when I hit bumps though, it winks sometimes. I should make a proper jumper plug.
