Default headlight motor

passenger side headlight motor runs for 5 seconds after the light has been deployed up or down. Any ideas what the issue is?

I have the same thing going on with mine. I have a nice little pile of bushing shavings under the motors. I bought mine from Mid America

8.99, need one pack of 3 for each headlight if you want to both at the same time.

Default just fixed my passenger side...

followed the instructions, used a few strong words, needed to find tools I used to have, got-r-done. Just make sure you get the parts, have the tools, and allot enough time.

Headlight bushings. The driver's side headlight spins for a few seconds on my 90. On my to-do list.
