HEADLAMP ISSUE....

[FESTER]

Anyone have any headlamp issues with flip up lamps going nuts when the lock and unlock buttons are used on the key fob? key fob only. The lamps just go nuts up and down.

Thanks.

I had a problem with a customer's T/A doing that. He also had a noise from one of the head lamp motors, I remember replacing the stripped motor but I don't remember if that fixed the issue with the key fob.

also found this on LS1tech http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/pontia...eadlights.html

Mine did it until i smashed the front end and replaced the motors. So unlike me just replace the motors if it bothers you that much. I use to tell people my car just likes winking at me

OK... Thanks everybody!

you can do the free fix and flip the gears 180 degrees

gears aren't the motor.

the gears stripping is what causes the motor to act crazy when you hit the key fob or turn off your headlights. Usually will make a grinding ray gun sound for a few seconds turning the lights off. And when you hit the fob, the lights go up a little, back down and grind.

You can replace the whole motor with new or from a junkyard Or, just pop the cover off, flip the gear 180* around and epoxy it back together and you will be good for awhile.
