Hey guys,
So I thought I trusted this garage so I went ahead and ordered that light control switch with the wiper assembly etc and just got it in the mail. Spent 2 hours at dealer cause this garage couldn't get me in until next week. So the dealer puts it in and my headlights are still messed.
This is what they are doing:
Turn the switch on the off position which should lower the headlights but instead they keep going up and down out of sequence of each other. So I unplugged this relay under the hood and crank them up by hand and they work fine (headlights). They work fine if you click the switch all the way up... the headlights stay on and the pop ups stop going up and down. So anyway, I didn't mess around at the dealer (I am still pretty upset at this garage for telling me to order this part I didn't need :SM130 (1):.) So I go right back in the garage at the dealer and the mechanic and I have a chat. Apparently they don't have records for my year, the oldest they got is for 84's. So we did a few checks on this headlight relay. Tested it with ohm meter and then hooked up some by pass wiring to the battery and then to this relay. As soon as he touched the prongs inside this plug coming out of the relay the thing sparked. So it has like no resistance or something in it... so is this relay messed?
This is what I am trying to describe basically.

My question, assuming this is hopefully all I need now, did this part ever change from 82? Will all 4,5 years work on my 82?
Just weird it sparked when we went to test it and the ohm readings were a bit off... but then again the dealer was testing it based on a 84 instruction book.
Thanks guys let me know if anybody has run into this problem
