Headlight motor keeps running !!!!!!!!!
Notice after I turned off my lights, that one of the motors keeps running for
about 5 to 10 sec. Can someone tell me how to fix this problem.
Thanks for any help. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I just fixed mine with a new bronze gear. The plastic gear had stripped and wouldn't stop the motor from spinning. Works perfectly now.

Probably the bushings.
Get two sets from your favorite supplier (a package of three is one set) Repair both motors. If you notice problems with the gears when you open them up replace them.
Replacing the bushings is fairly simple. Took me about 45 min for one side. I forgot to order two sets :( now I have to repair the other side (it has the lazy eye syndrome)

Re: Headlight motor keeps running !!!!!!!!! (blk90)
i just fixed my similar problem - it was the bushing within the motor assembly. Very easy to fix and only $5 for the parts. Check the archives on motor repair. The only trick is that you have to take the whole headlight out. But that is relatively easy.
ANother symptom for the bushing to go bad is that the headlight does not completely engage or intermittently engages completely. If you have these symptoms to then it is most likely the bushings.
