Hello,
I just bought a used 1997 Corvette C5. I was detailing under the hood and turned the driver's side manual headlight dial the wrong direction (clockwise). Now when I turn the headlights off, the driver's side headlight actuator motor continues to run for 5 secs. and the worm gear is grinding against the nylon threads of the headlight cover lift mechanism. Not only is the sound horrible, I know this can't be good for the nylon threads and may cause severe damage. Is this system adjustable? Can the problem be fixed without completely replacing the motor assembly (now about $220.00 and double that with labor).
Thank you so much for your assistance.
