Here is the issue. When I turn my headlights on they pop up no problem. However, When I go to turn them off they go down but the driver side pops back up. I can pop the hood and manually make the headlight go back down. Does anyone have any idea why this happening? It does do it all of the time but this is annoying. BTW: The headlight itself does no come on when the happens.

 

stock lights or HIDs? plastic gears or have you already replaced with brass? sounds like it could be a worn out gear to me.

also could be the rubber pads on the stopping plates are worn out or missing or the arm is bent so its not contacting the stop plate (or tabs really) properly

 

Stock lights. Car has hardly been driven after dark. It just turned 20,000 miles? It is all stock and is a garage queen. Only driven with the head lights up 20 times at most.

 

I have located the fix. I may have the answer so let me know if anyone has any input. Mine is a 01 not sure if that matter?



Heres the fix:

Number: 00-08-42-002
Subject: Left Headlamp Door Does Not Stay Closed (Shim Headlamp Door Motor/Actuator and Replace Insulators)

Condition
Some customers may comment that the left front headlamp door does not remain closed after the headlamps are turned off. Others may comment
that the left headlamp door closes when the headlamps are turned off, but then reopens. In either case, the right headlamp door operates properly.

Correction
Important
The following information applies to the left front headlamp door motor/actuator only. It does not apply to and should not be performed on the right front headlamp door motor/actuator.

Install one washer (2) between the left headlamp door motor/actuator (1) and the mounting bracket (3) at each of the three attaching bolt locations. Also replace the
insulator (4) on each of the two mounting bracket travel stop tabs (5) as shown. For information on headlamp motor/actuator removal, see the Headlamp Motor/Actuator

Now that I have found the solution I have another issue. The insulator that I need has been discontinued and I cannot locate them anywhere. Any idea's or anyone out there can give some assistance. Without them I am stuck without a fix.
