Default flip light keep blinking

Here is another one... The head light flip up no problem. When I try to turn them off, they keep flipping up and down. It won't stop unless I turn off then turn on the switch at the perfect timing. (or just keep it on until I turn off the car)

Anyone experience this? Any cure?

Never experienced this, but with my wind shield washers I have to time the turn off perfectly or they stop at whatever point they are at. Maybe related?

No real ideas but are they perhaps out of adjustment or something?

I noticed when messing with mine a few weeks ago that as long as the headlight motor is plugged in, and you roll the manual **** more than a few degrees, the motor turns on and attempts to "shut" the headlights.

I wonder if maybe there is a way to calibrate or "zero out" the motor? *shrug* Just a guess here.

Mine does this at random once every few months. I've never figured out why.
