Headlight Motor Posted By: wettpaint On: 04-06-2008 @ 12:19:54 Reply | Edit I just replaced the left headlight motor on my 91 TA and when you turn the headlights on the motor will run on for a few seconds, and when you turn off the headlights, it does the same thing, running on for a few seconds. How can I correct this? Another problem is that the headlight door now sits to low in the front, it no longer is parallel with the hood. What can i do to fix that? All help will be welcome!
