What is the Headlight Door Motor all about?

Your headlight door motor is what operates the raising and lowering of your headlight doors. It’s a single motor that is mounted just behind the center grille, wound with two field windings. The assembly contains internal limit switches and a worm gear drive. In most vehicles, there is a relay circuit breaker assembly immediately to the right of the steering column. In other vehicles, it is mounted on the fuse block.

When you turn on your headlights, the relay becomes energized, and the doors open. A limit switch stops power from going to the motor. When you turn off your headlights, the circuit is completed, the doors close, and another limit switch stops power from going to the motor.

Keep in mind:

  • Your headlights are an important safety feature, and should always be visible to oncoming traffic.
  • If your vehicle has been sitting for a long time, your headlight doors may open with difficulty, or not at all.
  • The problem could come from the relay or the entire motor.

How it's done:

  • The vehicles hood is opened and supported manually
  • The defective headlight door motor is removed
  • The new headlight motor is installed
  • The hood manual support is removed
  • The repair is verified and the headlight door motor is tested for proper operation

Our recommendation:

Due to the importance of your headlight doors, it’s essential that the headlight door motor works properly. If the vehicle has been sitting, repeatedly activating the switch may loosen the circuit and fix the issue. If that method doesn’t work, have one of our expert mechanics inspect and replace the headlight door motor if necessary.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Headlight Door Motor?

  • Headlight doors stay open
  • Headlight doors won’t close
  • Grinding noise when you try to open or close the headlight doors

How important is this service?

Headlight doors that won’t open can cause some serious trouble, especially if you are driving at night. Any problem with your headlights requires an immediate attention from one of our expert mechanics. This is a safety issue and one that should be dealt with as quickly as possible.

Fast and easy service at your home or office

Saturn Outlook V6-3.6L - Car is not starting - Hendersonville, Tennessee
Richard was great. Very professional and knowledgeable. Although he wasn't able to fix my vehicle as it was a computer problem only GM can reboot. I would highly recommend him and hire him again if ever needed!

Saturn Outlook V6-3.6L - Oxygen Sensor Replacement (Front/Upper/Upstream, Rear/Lower/Downstream) - Tucson, Arizona
David is AWESOME! He managed to troubleshoot misleading code errors and get to the root of the problem quickly. I know that if I'd gone to the dealer or a shop, I likely would have been fleeced for unnecessary work due to the codes that were thrown by my car. We will be requesting him in the future for all of our cars' needs. Thanks David!

You only notice the issue when trying to pick up speed to merge onto highway for example and/or when climbing a hill. It really lags when climbing a hill.
