92 headlight motor adjustment

[TomsToy]

I have that "click,click,click" everytime I turn on the headlights and when I turn them off. I understand there is an adjustment for the motor drives for the headlights. Anyone that has done the job please enlightn me?
Thanks
Tom

I had to do that on my 92. Pull the motors now. The bushing kits are like $5 bucks from a vendor. If you wait to long the motor will burn and they run about 50 bucks on ebay. Also the controll module for the lights is in the driver front fenderwell, it cost 160. and it too will fry. I learned these lesons the hard way. To you they are free. Pull the headlight bucket off the car, then its pretty simple from there. The side cover comes off the motor and you will see it full of yellow dust. This is the old bushings, I used compressed air to clean out, then a light coat of white grease, and back together with new bushings. Do it now or pay the price later. robert

I'll lay odds its your bushings. Go to Home Depot and ask for item number 595609. You will need six of these nylon spacers to repair both headlights. They cost me .69 cents (plus tax) for a pack of three at my local Home Depot store.

Much cheaper than the $7.99 price in MAD, Eckler's and some of the other specialty catalogs and they are the exact same Delrin spacers. Go figure.

If there's a TechTips portal on this Forum search under "headlight bushings." If not, let me know and I'll see if I can get you a copy of the instructions I used when I replaced mine a couple of months ago.
