I haven't had a chance to try swapping the malfunctioning right headlight with the left to see if it is the bulb yet, but I noticed a new problem today: the hatch pulldown motor is dead, so I am getting a nice cold breeze when I drive, and things are going to get wet if it rains. Evil or Very Mad

I got an electrical circuit tester a while back, so I will check if the motor is getting current. If it is, where do you guys suggest I get a replacement motor for cheap (in the Portland area)?

I havent bought from this guy before, but he seems reputable.

The hatch motors are about halfway down the page.
And under 100 bucks seems like a good deal compared to what they are OEM.

kelly, i have had alot of problems with the pins in the relay on mine, clean them off with a screw driver it is an easy enough test to give it a shot Smile

The pins on the top where it contacts the hatchlid? Those are already perfectly clean (on top at least, I'd have to take everything apart to see the rest).

yes, you have to pull the back plastic panel, there is a relay mounted next to the pull down motor. check the connectors for that relay.

Umm, never mind... Embarassed

After a few days, it started working fine again. Gotta love those GM electrical gremlins. Rolling Eyes
