FIREBIRD FORMULA lights problem

I got 2 problems with my car right now:

1) the lights dont go down when i press the button...they turn off but stay in the UP position... i can hear the noise of the motors working but they just dont go down....last week they would go down after like 5 tries...but now they dont go down at all...this has been happening for about a week

2) This just started today...the second problem (might be connected to the 1st)...the beeping noise (when you turn the car off...to remind you to turn your lights off) beeps all the time...even when the car is on...i cant get it to stop...even when i turn them off...the thing beeps...the only way it shuts is when i turn the car off...its really anoying

ANY HELP!!!

Re: FIREBIRD FORMULA lights problem

If you can hear the motors run but nothing happens then thats probably the problem. It's a known fact that the motors do fail. My 97 messed up and I just turned the gear 180 degrees.

You might want to take the dash switch out and make sure the contacts are working right. My 89 lights did some strange things and the dash switch was the problem there. It was repairable by bending the tabs in the switch so they make the proper contact. A free fix.
