Driver headlight stuck, then worked again Hey guys,
Well I started the beast up for the first time in a week or two, and as I was leaving my drive way I noticed my driver's side headlamp was not going up. I pulled back into driveway, turned car off and my roommate taped on the light....and then it began working again.
There is no noise like what I have researched when the lights go up or down. It sounds actually as if maybe something is too tight, and it sounds like a clank noise when going down. (Like it's hitting something, not that noise click click click click of a stripped gear, my friend had a 95 LT1 with the same problem and this isn't the same sound) My right side lights don't make any noise.
Anyway, not a big deal as I don't drive the car much-- but I would like to fix it before it gets any worse (I do like to drive at night, especially now that it's getting cooler out).
So, I see people who just replace the gears with something. Is this usually the problem, the plastic gear? I am not good at replacing things, what is the labor usually (I can have a friend do it)
Thanks,
Kenny D
