Headlight motor or switch??

I seem to have a headlight issue. If I try to turn on just the driving lights "P", the headlights still pop up (but don't turn on until I switch to "L"). And, when I turn them off, the motors keep going for another 5 seconds ( ***** spinning and all) after they go down and run for an extra 5 seconds when I raise them up. And, the headlight motors run for 5 seconds when I turn the car off, even if the lights weren't being used.

I aplologize if this is a FAQ, i searched and couldn't find the question or answer.

Do I have a Motor or Switch problem?

Your later car doesn't have the old isolation relay and motor relays, but the "control module" in its place. Good luck with that one. I've yet to see a good schematic of the internals of that module.

Just to clarify, this is for the '92 Firebird, not the '02 one. The Control Module is in the '92 also??
