bump.....

 

its funny.. i have the exact opposite problem of you.. mine wont go up, but did the samething as ur in reverse. would take a min or so to come up..then 5mins and now jus wont go up at all..

 

I've never had to touch mine. But if I had that problem, the first thing I would do is check all the connections to the motors with a multi-meter. If its fine, then you can eliminate the wiring.

 

Theres an earth strap bolted to the front cross member behind the bumper (its got like 5 earths all bolted to the same connector) i had all sorts of weird problems with headlights, cleaned this earth point after another member told me about it, fixed all problems, give it a look.
