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.
