WTF, Headlight only pops up half of the time
WTF, Headlight only pops up half of the time I've got a 98 TA and when i turn the headlights on, the drivers side, and sometimes the passenger side lights will not pop up. the light will turn on, but the headlight will not move, it stays pointed down. also, after i turn them off and on again and they do pop up, sometimes they will not return back down either...... has anyone had this problem... is it the motor? Thanks
i have sorta the same problem but when i turned mine on the driverside headlight only went half way up and then would not move at all anymore ive been having to put it up and down by hand with the dial under the hood...im thinking its the motor your problem might be the gears.. if its starting to go bad it might not be catching on all the teeth and thats why it takes a couple times of turning them on and off.. IDK just a guess
I'm no T/A expert, but I'm pretty damn sure it's the motors that go out. And need to be replaced, just a common problem for cars with flip-up headlights.
I'm sure a T/A guy will chime in, and let you guys know what is up for sure... and probably give details towards changing them.

check your fuses..i had a similar problem and it was a bad connection with the fuse...at first glance the fusees looked fine(they were not blown) but when you pull them out and put them back in you can hear the relay click on and off...if the relay doesn't click use a new fuse.. i figured this out AFTER i took out the motor checked the gears and put it all back together..

the light motor almost nere wear out. It is the gears 9 times out of ten. You can buy these brass gears or you can first try rotating the plastic gear 180* so the bad teeth are out of the picture. Hope this helps.
