Default Headlight Noise?

1993 40th.... everytime I flip the switch to turn the headlights on, they come on and everything works.... but for about 5 seconds after it keeps making a sound like its still fliping the lights up then it goes away.. Same for when you turn the lights off... anyone have this problem? or no how to fix it?

Thanks

There are three little plastic ***** inside each headlight and they need replaced. Look at the top of this page. There is a sticky that details the problem and the fix.

Seems to be a daily question. Go to the top of this section....there is a sticky titled "headlight repair w/pics". Click your mouse "there".

Fyi, I have taken apart both of my headlights and the 3 round plastic bushings were fine. I replaced them anyways, but the passenger headlight still doesn't like to come up sometimes and if it does, like the OP the motor continues to run for a few seconds after it is up. I might have to tear it apart again, maybe some gears are stripped or something is out of alignment.

Just watch out for that thread, there are old versions and new version headlight advice in that thread

Some don't know that there are two versions of motor/mechanisms and that thread is a catch all for advice for both.
