Right headlight motor has developed the death grind, and the turn signal is out again (about 2-3 a year, for 6 years). I should be glad I’ve avoided anything more serious, but I’m getting tired of this.

On a positive note, the WS6 wheels are off at the shop getting the curb rash fixed. All I need now is to polish them out and buy some tires!

Check your turn signal connection. It could be loose causing an increased resistance leading to eating bulbs like candy. Mrs. Something-Clever-Here’s Saab has that issue with the low beams.

Open the headlight motor and flip the nylon gear 180*.

If it’s still boned, get the brass gears.

I’ll see if it’s just the gear, hopefully its not the torque sensor. I had to replace the entire module on the left one last year. Which was a pain to get out,

It gets water inside it, the hot bulb touches the cool water and shatters. I haven’t been able to find the crack. I replaced the plug last year.
