Default battery/headlight problem

Hello, I'm new to Corvettes, having just bought my 1992 Coupe last October with around 90k on the odometer.
After a severe rain storm (not sure if related yet or not), I had a dead battery. Tried jumping starting it, but it would not even crank over. Now I can hear the headlight motors running constantly. If I turn the headlight switch on, the motors stop. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Roy

With the headlight motors constantly running, that would drain the battery in your Corvette till the battery is dead.

Stripped headlight gears ? The Big plastic gear inside of the headlight motor.

I own a 1987 Vert. The headlight motor is different form your 92.

The 1984-1987 Headlight motors have their own issues.

Other here will chime in soon I am sure to help you.
