DOOR SPEAKERS AND HEADLIGHT MOTOR
« on: February 16, 2010, 03:51:00 AM »

I have a 1991 Capri just got it and love it. So i was hoping that someone could tell me is it hard to replace a headlight motor? Also Im going to replace my door speakers any tricks or anything I need to know before doing the job?

As for the door speakers, they are a very shallow depth speaker.  Measure inside clearence first, or you will be sorry.  This is the voice of experience.

Mike,

Are you planning on replacing the entire headlight door, mechanism and motor or just the motor itself ?

In that case, I'm sorry but I can't help you much.  I haven't removed one of the motors in a couple of years and I don't remember much about it.

I had posted here on Teamcapri about having one headlight making me nuts and I received a lot of help from other members with that problem.  I did a search for that post but it seems to have disappeared from the archives.

If I remember correctly, turn the headlight to the "up" position, take a few philips-head screws out of the black plastic that surrounds the headlight  and remove that black plastic.  Then there are 4 or 5 bolts (use a 10mm socket) and one wiring connector to remove the entire headlight assembly (including motor) from the car.  From there I don't think it's too much trouble to get the motor off but I'm sorry 'cause I can't remember all the details.

Good luck,
Dave

it is very easy there are 2 bolts on top and 2 on the back bottom and 2 plugs to take out the assembly and then there are some screws on the side of the assembly 4 for the top cover 4 for the black housing ... take that off and you will be able to see the motor and it is only a few screws to take off ... very simple i just looked at it and had it replaced in 20 minutes from just looking at it for the first time

Now before you buy a motor, remember, it may be OK, it may just need cleaning.  I am sure there are a few people on this forum that were able to fix their headlight motor without replaceing it.  So folks, lets hear from you and give this guy some good advice.

The headlight motors are interchangeable.  Gostlrs is a good guy to work with, and if a deal with him falls through, I have extras, as well!
