86 trans am drivers headlight
Have an 86 trans am just purchased it a few weeks ago. The drivers headlight had a delay before engaging to flip up. Now it won't even flip up, but when you twist the **** for it to come up it will flip back down when turn the headlights off. I have searched around, but haven't found really what I'm looking for. Is a relay, or is the motor bad?

Re: 86 trans am drivers headlight
Keep on searching, there are many threads that cover this topic in detail.
Most likely problem is the drive bushings in the headlight motor have crumbled. Can be repaired with a kit, or if you're as cheap as I am you can fix it for almost free using a piece of rubber hose.
