Thanks JD

Problem solved.

I decided to see if the factory Litronics were seated properly and inspect the hardware. I opened the passenger side and noticed only one socket had wires plugged in...the one that snaps into place on the mounting bracket. I didn't give it much thought because the lights seemed to light up, put the unit back in and tried the lights - no change.

For kicks, I took out the driver side assembly and low and behold there was a second cable attached to the unit. So I went back to the passenger side and started feeling around for the missing cable.

Sure enough, it had fallen down behind the assembly. I reattached it, tested the lights and the they tilted. I got out the Durametric, cleared the codes, they stayed cleared, and I was able to activate the three tilt positions. Yippee...

I must have forgotten to reattach the second cable long ago when I changed a bulb and never noticed the difference.

Don't I feel the fool..
