Headlamp Leveling Motor: Installation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Jeep Liberty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Headlamp leveling motors are integral to the headlamp unit only on vehicles manufactured for certain markets where headlamp leveling is required.
- Position the headlamp leveling motor and pushrod to the keyed mounting hole on the back of the headlamp unit housing.
- Insert two fingers through the bulb mounting hole in the center of the headlamp reflector and pull the reflector upwards toward the headlamp leveling motor.
- Align the ball on the end of the leveling motor pushrod with the socket on the headlamp reflector. See Figure.
- While continuing to pull the reflector toward the motor, firmly, steadily and forcefully push the headlamp leveling motor straight into the back of the headlamp housing far enough to snap the ball on the end of the motor pushrod into the socket on the headlamp reflector.
- After the pushrod is engaged to the reflector, remove your fingers from the headlamp reflector and thoroughly clean any fingerprints from the reflector.
- Push the mounting flange of the headlamp leveling motor into the keyed mounting hole on the back of the headlamp unit housing until the motor is firmly seated. See Figure.
- Rotate the headlamp leveling motor clockwise about 30 degrees to lock it into place.
- Reinstall the headlamp bulb into the headlamp housing.
- Reconnect the battery negative cable.
