Ok i just got done with new wiring and interior on my GTA and i drove it around last night and the headlights worked fine....i turned them on 4 or 5 times

everything worked as normal

well all the sudden tonight im moving my car into the garage and flip the switch and nothing???

i havent had a problem with the headlights since having the car 2 years now and have no idea whats the problem?
ive searched a bit and seen something bout the unit on the firewall that cost 300 bucks NOT HAPPENIN and the small control box near the fuse box that houses the fuses for the headlamps

i noticed with all the panels off a little black box with 2 or 3 fuses hanging down inside the drv side front kick panel is that the headlight fuse box????

 

300 bucks for that box? Yeesh, maybe if the dealer still stocked them... Just hit a junkyard and swipe one. I got mine for 10 bucks and it worked fine. Or get one from TDS. Not sure on the fuses as I've never even had to look at mine.

 

If your motors spin, yet fail to raise, then the bushings in the gears need to be replaced. If you turn on the headlight switch and they do nothing at all, then it is either a problem with the headlight control module or the headlight switch. Try pulling the connectors at the headlight actuators and at the headlight control module and spraying them with contact cleaner. It could be something as simple as corrosion.

thx everyone fortunately this morning the headlights just started working again

i think the switch i have in my car was the problem its always had a slight short to where if you dont push it hard enough the headlights wont go down

i have a new switch and will be installing it soon but thx again
thank Good - an O its nothing serious

 

What about my motors making a noise and going up 1/8 of the way and down after turning the alarm on or off, this after NO PROBLEMS for 3 years with the alarm. HELP! Andy

 

this is probally caused by your alarm. With most cars the alarm will flash the lights, and well, it goes to flash yours but since they have to pop up first what you see is them pop up and go back down.
