94 LT1 headlamp door question.

[Paul Higg]

Has anyone ever seen the headlamp doors to open and close not in sync? I looked in the FSM and they are electric and controlled by the Headlight Door Module. Could that be the problem or is there a way to adjust them? I still have a lot of digging to do in the FSM. I haven't even found out where in the FSM I can find the removal and replacement of the headlight door motors.

Thanks.

Paul, it's in the 8B LIGHTING SYSTEMS AND HORNS section of the FSM. Something in the area of 8B-10. Of course, my FSM is for the 96 so the actual section number for your year is probably different from mine. GM loves to change things.

Hope this helps.

I had a similar problem when the little nylon spacers were crumbling in the drive gear section of the headlight motor. Fix takes about and hour and a pack of the spacers from Advanced Auto Parts. Several great articles on this forum on how to do the repair.

Thanks Jake, thanks Mike.

I will search for it on the forum.

Jake, did you ever get a new car? How's things?

Thanks Jake, thanks Mike.

Yep, I bought one on eBay that is the same year, color, options and slightly less mileage in NY. I plan to fly up there early next month to pick it up.

Since my youngest daughter is graduating from American University in D.C. in early May, I decided to kill two birds with one stone. Fly up to NY and pick up the car then drive to the ceremony and finally back to TX.

Here's a photo of the new one:
