Re: popup headlights

i think there's some contacts on the motor that are basically breaker points. from the service manual it looks as though there is a wheel that turns with the motor that has a gap on it, the points ride on this wheel so when the gap comes around the points lose contact and the motor stops. maybe your points have overheated and stuck together or are bent or something. if this doesn't help post back, i've got my car apart now so i can look at my headlight motor and try to give you some other ideas.
