What is the Headlight Door Motor all about?

Your headlight door motor is what operates the raising and lowering of your headlight doors. It’s a single motor that is mounted just behind the center grille, wound with two field windings. The assembly contains internal limit switches and a worm gear drive. In most vehicles, there is a relay circuit breaker assembly immediately to the right of the steering column. In other vehicles, it is mounted on the fuse block.

When you turn on your headlights, the relay becomes energized, and the doors open. A limit switch stops power from going to the motor. When you turn off your headlights, the circuit is completed, the doors close, and another limit switch stops power from going to the motor.

Keep in mind:

Your headlights are an important safety feature, and should always be visible to oncoming traffic.
If your vehicle has been sitting for a long time, your headlight doors may open with difficulty, or not at all.
The problem could come from the relay or the entire motor.

How it's done:

The vehicles hood is opened and supported manually
The defective headlight door motor is removed
The new headlight motor is installed
The hood manual support is removed
The repair is verified and the headlight door motor is tested for proper operation

Our recommendation:

Due to the importance of your headlight doors, it’s essential that the headlight door motor works properly. If the vehicle has been sitting, repeatedly activating the switch may loosen the circuit and fix the issue. If that method doesn’t work, have one of our expert mechanics inspect and replace the headlight door motor if necessary.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Headlight Door Motor?

Headlight doors stay open
Headlight doors won’t close
Grinding noise when you try to open or close the headlight doors

How important is this service?

Headlight doors that won’t open can cause some serious trouble, especially if you are driving at night. Any problem with your headlights requires an immediate attention from one of our expert mechanics. This is a safety issue and one that should be dealt with as quickly as possible.

Dodge B2500 V8-5.2L - Car or steering wheel shakes when braking - Buckeye, Arizona

Peter knows his mechanics, I had originally had an appointment with another mechanic with your mechanic.com, but he niether called nor showed up on the scheduled date. I had Peter come out previously on an unrelated call regarding the A/C on the same vehicle. I would have requested him regarding this matter, which was a front brake problem, and actually did so, but he wasn't available 'til Thursday of that week. I had rented a car for a week so I settled for another mechanic that the company said would suffice that had 22 years of experience. I booked an appointment with that mechanic, who, as I had previously stated, didn't bother to call or show up. The next day I called your mechanic to request Peter at soonest availability. Peter showed up early on the appointed date, inspected the issue regarding my front brake caliper, and gave me a new estimate regarding the appropriate repairs. Mechanics that are honest and trustworthy are few and far between, and I consider myself fortunate to have met Peter, as I have met countless unethical and dishonest mechanics in my 52 years of existence.
