73 Headlight-door motor not stoping

["jsadowski" <jsadowski@xxxxxxx>]

The nylon gear is stripped. I had that happen with a 69 I used to own. I've seen these come up many times on ebay & purchased a spare for the 69 I presently own.

Subject: IML: 73 Headlight-door motor not stoping

Hi

The motor to open my concealed headlightdoors works fine when I turn the
lights on and opens the doors.
But if I switch it off, the motor keeps running (doors closing-the little
weel underneath keeps spinning) and
wont stop 'till I disconnect the wires.
After that the doors move up a quarter, like a spring forces them to.
Any ideas how  to fix that ?
Is there an 'end switch' inside that motor, so it 'knows' when to stop ?

Thanks
Nils
