Oh my god my headlight motors have been messing up lately but I didn't think this would happen! I go to work and turn my lights off and they go down but the motor keeps going and all I hear is a constant grind, it stops then goes back up and then goes down and starts grinding. I can't get it to stop so I put it on the off position and it still won't stop, I take the keys out of the car and it's still grinding...
I have to leave the car parked outside with the dim lights on just to keep it from grinding. I come back from work and of course the battery is dead, I'm in a parking lot and people are parked all around me so I can't get the car jumped.
It wouldn't matter if I could because I can't get the headlights to stop grinding and it would just be drained the next day.
My car is parked out in a nasty *** parking lot with no alarm system, and it's dead and stuck. I have no way to go get it now
How do I get the headlights to stop this?

Your nylon gears are stripped in the motors or the limit switch is gone out. Somebody *might* make a rebuild kit but most likely it's new motor time. Sorry to be a bummer.

ye go to google.com and type in Trans am Headlight Motor Fix. And you'll get to the fix it guide. it works very well.

One of the headlight motors is brand new, it was replaced in january and they were both grinding.
I am really starting to hate these cars.

theres a guy on ebay that sells brass headlight gears-there like 40 bucks but theyll never strip
