Default Headlight Motor Question

2 headlight motors. One turns on when you flip the switch and stops quickly. The other seems to go on longer till it finally stops. This occurs on and off. What is the fix? Besides new motor, that is. TIA

When I replaced the "gel" bushings in mine they started going the same speed again. What yr is your C4? Early are different than later and this may not apply to yours.

So is the one I did this in. You can get replacement bushings at MA or Ecklers, etc, or I bought nylon bushings at a hardware store and then filed them down to the right thickness. IIRC they were 1/2" bushings, but do a search and some of the posts will tell which size is right.
