Default Another Headlight motor Question

The right side headlight motor works sometimes and sometimes not.I have ordered the bushing kits and will get them this week.One thing that I noticed is that when I disconnect and connect the battery neg. terminal the headlight motor starts running.As the neg terminal makes contact or not the motor stops and starts.This only happends on the rt. side.Is this normal?

Sounds like you are going to need the "bushing rebuild kit". Plenty of instructions and pic's of the process.
