Re: [Chrysler300] headlight door relay problem

[whuff <whuff@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I had the same experience on my 70 300.  It turned out that although the 
shaft through the motor was properly inserted into the headlight door 
receptacles, one door was stopping a little early, before the motor was 
ready to shut off.  A motor mounting adjustment and some work on the door 
fixed that.  The best way to check is to run the motor alone, without the 
doors hooked up.  If the motor starts and stops properly in response to the 
headlight switch, the problem was an alignment problem.  If the motor wants 
to keep running in one or both directions, it is the limit contacts inside 
the motor not working properly.  If they are not burned up, some cleaning 
and polishing the contact faces might well fix the problem.
