2000 headlight motor
Does anyone know what causes the headlight motor to keep running after the lights are turned off? They will continue to work for a few times then they will not open. If I open them with the manual override they will start working again, but will stop have a few times.

Sounds like the internal gear is stripped. You can try pulling the arm off the motor, turning it through 180 degrees, then put the arm back on. Or you can replace the gear. I believe the Tech Tips section shows how to replace the gear.
