Hi Chapman2233,

The headlight motor is faulty as one of the diodes in the motor circuit is bad. There are no recommended repair procedures except to replace the motor. If you can do repairs yourself, you can try replacing the diode. An ohmmeter with diode testing capabilities would be needed to test which diode is faulty.

Sorry I do not have the cost for the motor.
