i have a 92 firebird and the headlights go up and make a klanking noise? but when i hit the button for them to go down they klank more but dont go down. can anyone help me?

 

Sounds like the little circular "buttons" inside the motor housing. If you can't find anything else obviously wrong take out the motor and open up the end where the shaft comes out. Check the condition of the gears etc. Usually it's the little round things that lock one part to the other that go brittle and get ground up. Top-DownSolutions.com has them or you can use 1/2 inch wooden dowel pieces.

 

thanx ill look at it..

 

ok so i messed with it a little bit and it spins the motors but it spends them in the same direction. like when i turn them on the go up, klank, and the motors spin to the right (or clockwise) but when i hit them down it keeps klanking and spins clockwise also, so i didnt no if it is supposed to spin the same way or not

 

It'll spin one way to go up and the other way to go down. Look at the lever that makes the head light go up and down. It's connected to a shaft that goes into the motor housing. There is a gear inside turned by the motor. If the gear is stripped or the little "buttons" have crumbled the motor will keep turning and the headlight won't move correctly. You have to open up the housings to see exactly what needs to be replaced. There are other things that can go wrong but it usually the above and sounds like what you've described.
