Headlight question
Lights went up fine last night. Got into the garage, turned lights off, and buckets did not go down. Have checked fuses and found no issues. Where should I start? Thanks for help

Tap on the relay that plugs into the headlight motor assembly. If they don't go down, wiggle the wires around there a little bit. That would be the first thing I would do - if there are any tears in the rubber boot over the headlight motor, that relay can get corroded pretty quickly because of its location. There may be microswitches in the motor, too, that could be getting corroded/dirty.
EDIT: Hey, you're in Ohio - can you meet with fellow 944 owners in Hilliard tonight?

Headlight motor could have gone. Try turning them on and then have a friend turn them off and listen for the headlight motor (right front corner).
Do they even try to move?

Tony: Thanks for the suggestions. I am in Cincinnati, and a big Colerain HS football fan. Tonight is supposed to be a Pep Rally for the team. Rain date is tomorrow, so I won't be able to make the Hilliard GTG. Is it a regular thing? Maybe next time.
Thanks: Scott
