Head light problem
Head light problem I have a 98 formula. Everything was working untill today when I tried to put my headlights down. They turned off and when down just fine but when they finished closing, it sounded like one of the motors was still on trying to bring it down farther. Then when that stopped, I hit the lock button on my keyring and the lights popped open and then closed real quick and made the noise again. What could be the cause of this?
