Do you really need 7 nearly-identical threads in the same section?

gtlotus · 12-30-2007, 04:18 AM

Do you really need the motors or just repair the ones you have? If the repair is all you need the parts are cheap ($10-$20) and easy to do. They fix the Corvette.

It's like the Seven Santini Brothers came through here overnight.

Maybe if you post a few more times you'll get an answer.

Do a search on the the forum of www.lotuselancentral.com The saga of headlight motors and transmissions is covered there.

Rebuilding the common problem is easy and inexpensive.

Rebuilt units have been for sale on ebay of late.

You sure it's the motors and not the control module?

I'm sure it was an error and not intentional. The threads with replies were merged and the ones without were archived.

Is this where you got the rebuild kit from?

I had to end up getting the entire motor replaced, picked it up from a local Pontiac dealer.
