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.

Volkswagen CC L4-2.0L Turbo - Oil/Fluid Leak - Spring, Texas

Maxwell was AWESOME. Just by talking with him I could tell that he really knows his stuff, and that is important when you are having someone work on your European car, and other mechanics have told you that they have never worked on "one of these" before! Yikes. It was very comforting to know that he understands well the differences in function and specialized tools needed to perform the work on a VW. This was warranty work, and he found and fixed the problem and made recommendations (but not over-kill sales pitches) regarding maintenance work to do over the next few months or so. No pressure, no fear tactics - just good, knowledgeable, service and recommendations, and THAT will earn him more much work from me than some other auto-repair shop that may make a killing right off the bat but to which I would never return because of their poor ethics. I highly recommend Maxwell. Very nice guy, friendly, and obviously passionate about what he does. He will be my requested mechanic going forward! Thanks, Maxwell!
