Headlight issue. But not the usual.
97 C5.
Ive replaced a couple headlight motors throughout the years and recently did the drivers side one.
About 2 weeks after the install, everything was still fine, and after a really hard rain, and i specifically remember a big splash from a car next to me directing water straight towards my headlight. I remember it because i was thinking, i wonder if water ever gets in there and messes anything up.
And BAM i jinxed myself. When i went to the headlights off when i got home they both went down fine, then the driver side continued to cycle by it self, up down, up down, up down, up down and then stopped kind of halfway shut. The actual bulb was off once i turned the switch though.
It still cycles every time i turn them of, sometimes it lands fully open, sometimes fully closed, but usually somewhere in between.
Sound familiar to anyone?
