As the title says, my passenger side headlight only opens half way! I replaced the 3 bushings in the motor, but it didn't help, I turn them on and the passenger headlight will open half way and stop. The motor will keep running for a few seconds and stop. Then when I turn them off the passenger headlight will try and close, but after a few jerky attempts it gives up and the motor stops, and the headlight stays in the half open/half closed position. When its in this position, there is no tension on the headlight assembly at all. I can easily open and close the haedlight by hand, but it won't stay in the open or closed position.

I read in the achrieves that it could be the "Headlight Control Module"? Is there a way to test this module? Or is my headlight motor shot?

Thanks, Zane

I just replace mine when they start doing that.

When mine did this, it was the shaft spinning freely in the metal part that holds the bushings. I simply tapped a hole in the metal piece and into the shaft and stuck a tension pin in there. Now this worked, but may have also led to my motor failing which has cost me a new control module too. What I ended up doing (before the motor/module died) was drill a hole in one of the bushings and then slid the bushing over the exposed tension pin. I think this ended up putting too much strain on the motor causing failure.

Bottom line, check to see if the shaft is spinning in the metal bushing holder.
