Headlamp Alignment Actuator - Installation

INSTALLATION






NOTE: The graphic shows the right side front lamp unit as viewed from the back of the lamp with the housing removed. However, the housing cannot be removed from the lamp for service. This view was necessary in order to clearly illustrate the internal engagement of the headlamp leveling motor pushrod with the saddle bracket on the lamp reflector.

1. Align and insert the headlamp leveling motor (4) and pushrod into the front lamp unit housing.
2. Grasp the motor firmly with one hand and twist it toward the inboard side of the lamp far enough to align the ball on the end of the motor pushrod (3) with the saddle bracket (1) secured to the reflector (2) within the lamp housing.

NOTE: It may be helpful to also remove a headlamp bulb from the lamp reflector and insert a finger through the bulb opening to move the reflector far enough to align the saddle bracket with the motor pushrod ball.

3. With the motor pushrod ball and reflector saddle bracket aligned, twist the motor back toward the outboard side of the lamp far enough to engage the pushrod ball into the reflector saddle bracket.
4. Insert the mounting flange of the headlamp leveling motor into the mounting boss on the back of the front lamp unit housing until the motor is firmly seated.
5. Rotate the motor clockwise about 30 degrees to lock it into place.
6. Reinstall the front lamp unit into the vehicle. Front Lamp Unit - Installation.
7. Reconnect the battery negative cable.
