Headlight motor problem
I was replacing the foglight bulb on my 99 and attempted to raise the headlight manually. Unknowingly, I turned the **** the wrong way and heard a pop when I turned it clockwise. Now, when I turn on the lights, they go up fine but when I turn them off, the motor runs for an additional 8 seconds after the cover closes. I guess I broke the stop gear... Is there a quick fix?

that's the noise that happens when a gear is stripped. it was probably ready to go when it happened so it's probably nothing you directly did.
easily fixed with a set of brass gears.

Make sure you read the part about checking to see what version of the motor housing you have.
