My motor makes noise after I turn the lights off... does it mean it's about to stop working completely?

How hard are these motors to change/swap out?

Yes, it does mean the motor/s are bad. (As a whole, the 'unit' is bad. But to be more detailed, Yes, stripped gears.)

No it doesnt mean that the motors are bad. The plastic gear in the motor is stripped.

Here is the sticky:

You can do the 180* mod or replace the plastic gears with brass gears. Read the sticky for the info.
