Seeking help!!!! 98 Trans Am headlight problem I just replaced a headlight motor gear (aluminum gear), assembled and if the driver side is up and the passenger side is down, then when I turn the lights on the passenger side goes up and the driver side goes down. Then I'll turn the lights off and on and the driver side will stay down and the pass side goes like it should... I checked the motor out before I assembled, and it turned completely around both ways. The fuses are fine. Lights go on. Also the light assembly is looser than the pass side. But I can see it trying to go up and down (it moves slightly). Screwy deal. What could I try? Is there a switch that triggers the up and down?
Thanks,

Try unplugging the one headlight motor that is up while the lights are off. Turn on the lights and reconnect the motor and turn off the headlights and they should realign. If not you might have to spin the gear back.
The light that is behaving incorrectly does not have the door arm attached to the motor properly. Watch how the arms move with someone else operating the lights and you'll see the problem.
