Headlight Motor question
My driver side headlamp grinds when I turn my headlights off. The motor works but it seems like the motor doesnt know when to turn off. It grinds for 5 seconds after the lamp goes down then stops. Does anyone know what part should be replaced and how hard is it to install? Thanks, Dan

Re: Headlight Motor question (SRitger)
Hi all,
I posted this same problem last week and was told by C5 tech that the gears inside the motor are stripped and I need to replace the motor. I found one at gmpartsdirect for $105, I think it was. It is a very annoying sound, huh! I'm sure it's a plastic gear wheel (or wheels) inside there and they just wear out and break. I wonder if there's any way to get inside the motor and replace the gears with metal one's?
