Default Headlamp opening actuator fix..checkthis

this update to be applied only if your headlite motors and bushing are in good repair. Requires rewiring the motor internally. however, it is possible to do this without internal modification(according to gregg???)


What is needed is wiring a diagram to rewire the existing 3wire system to 2 wire (including the new module) conversion. 84 - 87 C4 were 3wire, 88 - 96 are 2wire systems. maybe someone could help with this?


to review"motor actuator keeps clicking after closing" refer to this thread http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=570000

for the fix:

for the parts:option #1
ecklers parts# 35495 head lamp opening actuator module
http://www.ecklers.com/product.asp?p...M8FVSR69KEBK49

option #2 located module at auto wreckers, firebirds use the same module 87and later

the module has two plugs 1 is 4 wire, the other is 5 wire:
1:output 4 wire, A,B, go to one lite, C,D, go to other lite
2:the other plug has five, B, E, get +12v

OK. Look here:

In my album there are pictures of the procedure and of the wiring diagram.

I changed hosts and the links in the old post are now out of date. So I reposted them in my album on Yahoo.

Enjoy :cheers:
