I have an 88 vette, the headlights flip back and forth, and I have to cycle the headlight switch to get them to stay. The little motors run, I have seen them work with the hood up. The little knobs on the top just spin like crazy. Is there some kind of clutch or adjustment for this? Thanks.

Somewhat easy fix, and its cheap.
Inside the motor assembly there is a gear that is held in place by a "gel type" bushing. After time, it dry rots and turns to dust and the motor will no longer turn the gear. Ecklers sells the new nylon bushings for $4.95/side(at least it was that price a while back). It was best for me to take the whole headlight assembly off to take the motor apart. Once that is done, and you take the motor apart, you will see where the bushings go. Very easy. You can have it all done in just a couple hours. Good luck! and welcome to the guru! |

No problem! Common problem. You may want to mark where the headlight is attached to the frame so they go back in the same exact spot.
Good Luck! |
