I am using the new Cardone Select Headlight Motor as pictured here... http://www.jcwhitney.com/1987-2002-p...87-2002j1.jcwx
They have a lifetime warranty and my driver side motor is on its second replacement motor within a period of about 6 months.
What is happening is this... The gear (from brent franker) is coming mis-aligned inside the housing. it has play and it slides off the spendle causing the arm that raises the actual headlight to also come mis-aligned and completely misses the buffer which stops the motor due to the resistance and causes it to go further and stop at a mis-aligned position, or worse perform a 360...
I had this exact problem with my last motor too thinking maybe I just installed the gear wrong but the gear went in right this time and I was sure of it...
Here's what I mean...
This is becoming very annoying replacing these things every 3 months. I'm ganna try and re-adjust it over the weekend but what is the remedy for this problem? I tried placing a buffer on the tab but it just stripped the gear shortly after...
