The plastic gears in the headlamp assemble is damaged and probably missing some teeth. You can order a brass replacement at http://my.execpc.com/~rodney1/vettegears/index.htm

With lights off What causes the left headight motor to keep running on a 1985 corvette?
Failed limit switch, or bad wiring. The motor will keep running until the headlight finds "home" ... ergo a failed limit switch as mentioned above. The sensor at the "home" position (headlight off) has to be tripped by the headlight assembly before the motor will shut down. The motor has no idea where the headlight physically is ... it keeps running until the switch is engaged.
2000 firebird trans am pop up headlight motor on drivers side keeps running for about 5 seconds after it closed how do you stop the motor from running?
There is a double sided plastic gear inside your headlight motor and when that starts to go out you will hear the infamous noise you are describing. This will get worse and eventually your headlight will stop coming up at all. The good news is that you can actually flip that gear fairly easy if it hasn't been flipped before or you can buy a brass or aluminum gear to replace your plastic gear, they are about 85 bucks for a set. In time they are worth it trust me. Check out this website for more info... www.projecttransam.com good luck!!! :)
What tells the motor that the headlight covers are open or closed on a 1992 Oldsmobile Toronado so it will stop?
There is a control module that is exclusively there to manage the headlight doors. It sends a voltage pulse to the motor and then stops sending voltage and monitors the movement of it (seeing if the motor continues to turn after voltage is removed). If the motor is still turning the module knows the headlight doors have not reached the full up or full down position and will again provide voltage to the motor. One the headlight doors reach the end of their travel the motor will no longer turn when the voltage is removed. The module sees this and will quit actuating the motor.

If your relays are working properly, you might have a stripped gear in the motor. You can replace the gear or the motor depending on your resources. If the headlight is loose, the gear more than likely has teeth missing.
