  • 98 firebird headlight fix??

    i have a 98 and the right headlight latley has been deciding to work or not work theres no clicking everything seems fine just sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt
    mostly its fine but today its messed up again
    i was wondering if the headlight fix works on the 98+

    if anyone has had any exp with this id be really glad for any help

    cheers

    best wishes

    Is the door motor trying to move the headlight door or is it not getting power at all? Is the headlight door binding at all on the hood?
    I solemnly swear I am up to no good.

      from what i can tell the headlight is not trying to move at all
      the light comes on and it can be moved up and down with the manual control but it doesnt seem to be trying to move with the motor
      its been off and on like this for a while now

      thanks

        Check the wires, you might have a lose wire, aslo check the ground connection for it too.

          the connections all look good and tight im not sure where the ground is
          is it the cable grounded to the front of the body by the light visable as soon as you open the hood?
          looks like i may have to get a new motor booooo
