Headlight Issues
Recently I noticed that the driver side headlight motor keeps spinning for several seconds after(manual headlight ****)the headlight engages (up and down). I unplugged the motor and cleaned the connectors, plugged them back in and still the same issue. I changed the plastic gears out for the brass ones last year.
Could this be a wiring issue or possible the headlight motor going out?

This is a common problem, your OEM plastic gear is stripped. You need to replace with a metal gear.

The stops could be bad. OP did you replace the rubber insert with the new brass gears? I thought maybe a short, but that usually makes the motor run non-stop.
