headlights

[tysceta02]

First this may sound like a silly question but when I owned a 94 firebird I do not remember my headlights always going up and down when I armed or disarmed the alarm. Now I own a 2002 trans am and everytime I arm/disarm the alarm or just turn on the parking lights my headlights pop up. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hmmm. Not a t/a guy here but i dont think that is right. Never noticed it on vettes at all

It means one of your headlight motors are fixing to go.

if i remember correctly is either the headlight control module or one of the motors has the gear stripped.

When i got the car i had similar issue and i fixed the gear and it stopped doing it. In my case it didnt happen all the time.

Does the headlight motor make a grinding noise?

SMW6TA you beat me to it. you can try doing the 180 fix.

Follow the procedure and maybe you are lucky that it wasn't done before.
