my head lights are acting up. So when i used to use the unlock button the fogs lights would flash when it unlocked, but a couple of weeks ago one of the fogs lights went out. About three days after that the headlights started to come up when i used the unlock button instead of the fogs flashing. But when the lights go down they make the longest grinding noise after they go down. Now it does it when i lock the car too. I don't understand it, Will replacing the burnt out fog light fix it or what? thanks

I'd have to say try replacing the gear in the headlight motor with one of the brass ones. See where that takes you... I have heard of a worn out headlight gear (which causes that grinding sound you hear) creating strange problems like the ones you listed.
