Okay so here's the problem: 1. The driver's side motor gear has been stripped for approximately a year now. It has worked fine other than the headlights popping up with the key fob and when I turn on the parking/fog lights only along with the grinding sound. So just the other day I was driving down the highway during the day when both of my headlights popped up. The lamps weren't lit, but my interior gauge lights came on and my radio display dimmed like my headlights were lit. My fog lights and headlamps turned on as normal when I flipped the switch, but when I went to turn them off, the headlights lowered for a second, then popped right back up. When I shut the car off they drop.

2. My right front turn signal keeps going through bulbs. This is due to corrosion in the socket caused by water entering through a cracked lens. So I cleaned it out as best as I could, and loaded the socket with dialectric grease. The bulb worked fine for a few months, but both of my turn signals on both sides would blink in an erratic manner. Then the bulb went out, and the interior turn signal indicator for the right side came on and stayed lit. This happened the same day as my headlight issue. My left turn signal still blinks all crazy, and of course thr right one doesn't work at all.

So I am wondering, are these issues caused by the same problem, or are they seperate problems? I did a search, but only found stripped gear issues. I have the brass gears to fix the headlight motors, but haven't got around to it because of the weather, the time ivolved, and my headlights still worked fine otherwise. I am all discombobulated here with all of these issues, and really need to know what to do to fix it. I know that I need a new turn signal socket, and that I need to switch the gears out, but what else could be causing this new stuff? Please help!

 

ur having some of the same issues that i am.. im curious to know what it is as well..
