Need Help With Firebird A.S.A.P

[Maro99]

My mom just got a 2000 Firebird and we tested the pop up headlights and everything worked fine but when I tryed to turn them off they closed but but the headlight motor kept running and making a nasty sound so now I cant turn the headlights off. Has this happened to anyone before or does anyone know what I can do to fix this even temporarilry to get the lights off. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Yes, replace the gears with Brass, and you will not have that problem anymore. Plus your motors will last a very long time.
