Well it was just a matter of time, damn passenger side headlight motor went. Does anyone have any tips on replacing them? Also, I still need to find a good used one. GM still has some new units available (at $300!), and Paradise Alley is always a last resort.

I heard of someone selling metal gears for the unit... what do you need?

Well I've got your TFbM card here. With that your motor wouldn't be that much from GM. Keep in mind that anything from Paradise Alley is used.

If I can remember where I saw it, there was a tech post on rebuilding the gears inside.If I think of where I saw it,I will post it.

I read on the tech boards that some guys just took the motor apart and cleaned the contacts and that fixed it. Maybe this weekend I'll have a chance to pull it out and open it up.

thanks guys

Hey Nathan,I saw that on a link from someones site. The cost is $300. They would never need replacing.

It was kind of a cool damp day.

I would just hold off till the next rainy day and see if it does it again. Perhaps moisture is getting into the motor?!?
