I have a 1988 Trans Am GTA and the driver side headlight is acting weird. It takes longer for it to come up than the passenger side and it hesitates when coming up. The motor doesn't hesitate, but the light does. But here is what im worried about, Even after the light is up or down the motor still runs for another 7-8 seconds. what the hell is wrong???

 

Sounds like the bushing are dust....
R & R them

 

would the bushings being dust make the motor run even after the lamp is already down? thanks alot for your help to.

 

I forgot to add to that when I have just the parking lights on, then turn them off the same light motor also turns on for some reason for about 5 sec....

Yes... I even a lazy headlight.
I when to the local hardware store and bought the bushings (plastic spacer)
For $3 for a pair of them. You will need 3 for each side or buy longer ones and cut them in half for an extra $.50 I used a file to make them even with the motor. My Corvette has this problem first. Then my 90 Firebird has the problem....

 

Yes.

The repair kit I sell fixes both symptoms you describe.

I used the TPS kit and it worked really well on my 87 GTA. Very Detailed Instructions on how to fix the headlights with the 3 bushings on each headlight motor. The drivers side is harder to do than the passenger side though.
