weird.. i never had this problem till now, when i put my head lights up it is fine, but when they go down i hear a lil squeak?

what could it be?
im afraid to put WD-40? lol

thanks

 

maybe the linkage to the retractor motor..and it should be ok to spray..figuring since the motors ARE under the car and not exactly hidden from the elements..the linkages are like a ball and cup sort of affair

 

just give the joints a hosing with WD-40, liquid wrench, PB blaster. I did it when I got my car cause a light was stuck and it didn't hurt anything.

 

hmm my driver headlight is stuck and i cant find the thing thats jammed. it can go down after i crank it all the way up, but then it wont go all the way down. sm thing if i crank it all the way down, it wont go all the way up. the only thing that works is the passenger headlight. it goes up and down just fine. how weird

 

vaseline

 

hahaah seems practical

 

WD-40 is the birth of satin! Do not use it! You should never use it actually! It is a degreaser your headlights are stuck or squeaking b/c they have worn all the grease from the joints. So why does everyone’s logic spray degreaser on them?

Use a lube like chain wax at least, or Teflon spray or even wipe some grease on the joints.

If I see another person spray WD-40 on a squeaking door in a parking lot, I am going to walk up and pimp slap there mother.

 

Spray WD-40 on them.



LOL....jk iceblue. We used this graphite stuff on 200+lb doors at the hospital. I can't remember the proper name, we just called it graphite. Its a dry lubricant.

 

me confused, on wd-40 is says to stop squeaks, but you all are saying its a degreaser?

 

both of my headlights stopped retracting at the exact same time, I don't know why it seems very unlikley that both of them got to gunked up at the exact same moment.

 

Marketing my friend.

 

the true use of wd-40 is to prevent rusting, hence the name Water Displacement attempt number 40

 

I learned something new...but will it stick?? (No pun intended)
