NEW LEVEL MOTOR DISASSEMBLING ILLU.



Have a closer look at the Level-Motor - it can be turned out... soooooo maybe the new one could be replaced by the old... "@GAMMALEX" - let's try!!!

You may be able to swap the motors but as far as just wiring up the new motor to the old controller, I would advise against it. The old motor has what looks like two leads for the motor (+) and (-) and three wires for the sensor (G), (T), and (E), where as the new motor has only four wires (+) and (-) for the motor and I'm guessing (+) and (-) for the sensor.

I would just set the lights to a set position and then just wire up the old motor and leave it dangling somewhere to get the light off.

You cant swap the motors. I ended up doing what Ken said plugging in the old motors and pull tie it in place to leave the system in loop so the light on the dash stays off. I hope its just a temp fix untill I can get the right parts from Japan.If i had my aero and 20" id take some more pics

What are you doing to keep the auto leveling working. Once you have the lights on you wont even worry about them anymore lol

you will also need new plugs for the wedge bulbs and turn signals aswell if your new lights didnt come with them.
