98 TA headlight "ERRRRRRRRRRRR"
98 TA headlight "ERRRRRRRRRRRR" Like the title says, i have a 98 trans am. This problem just started last night. when I turned off the headlights, they pass side made a wierd noise that can only be electronically conveyed as "ERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR" 
also, whenever I use my keyless entry to lock/unlock, the headlights will open, close, and then the pass side will again go "ERRRRRR". Is this an indication that the motor is going out? or is there like a small badger or gopher stuck in my headlight?

i got a new motor and gear assembly for mine.. $100 off ebay. 100% brand new AC Delco part. The gear flip and gear replacement sometimes don't last all that long, so I went the pay me now route.

about a half hour. For anyone doing this, the only thing id say is to not manually put the headlight ALL the way up. it puts a little stress on the raiser arm and it gets good and stuck to the shaft. I beat on it for 10 min with a wrench and then just lowered it about a turn then it came right off

Is there anybody in Houston Texas that is not doing anything right now, or outo f a job and wants to do this for mine? PM me please if you do. Thanks.

i've decided to go with the fulltime popup headlight mod. kinda like the look better too and now i can almost tell where the front of my car is. and just found out there's like a half cup of water inside one of my highbeam lamps
