Thank you... The one thing that makes me think it is ok, is that the lights do operate with the switch up and down. But does continue to run after the light is down. Making the stripping noise. It may be now due to this running problem. But why would the lights even move when useing the keyless entry?? It never did this before. It just beeped to let me know it is open or locked? What happened to you??
