Two headlight problems with two different cars

[HiWire]

I have a 97 v6, for the past year I've had the good ol winking headlight on the passenger side. Its been fine, doesnt really bother me that much. However, a few days ago whenever I turn on the car it now flips the passenger headlight up and down about 5-6 times in a row before finally resting in the "down" posistion. I replaced the headlight motor with a spare I had bought from a used firebird. The same exact thing is happening, did I just happen to buy a bad headlight motor or is there something else I can check?

Problem 2, 97 v8. When I start the car, headlights go up and turn on even when in off posistion. There are no noises, so I really don't know whats going on with this either.

Any help is greatly appreciated, I want to get the v6 back on the road bc I don't like putting miles on the v8 (only 33,000). However I will not be unsafe and ride with only one working headlight in the v6. Let me know fellow f-bodiests

For the V6 I don't think it's a problem with the motor... it might possibly be the headlight control module or a wiring problem. I recently responded to someone elses post about this module so look that up if you don't know what I'm talking about.

As for the V8... does it have automatic headlights? Sounds like you have a bad or maybe just dirty sensor. Look for the little round cap on the dash and pop it off to clean the sensor. If that doesn't work you can also unplug the sensor in behind the stereo. There are two plugs though so don't unplug the wrong one or you'll lose your reverse lights or something like that I think it is.
