The plastic gear in one of my motors is gone. I have another motor that works fine but it only has red and black coming out of it. Not the blue. Can I use this at all or should I just buy the new gear.. I would like to use the new one if possible. Thanks..

You have the early Generation 1 motor. It has 3 wires, including the blue. The later Generation 2 motor will not work on the Generation 1 harness. Rebuild your motor using Rodney Dickman's metal gears. To the best of my knowledge, the Fiero Store's plastic gears still have problems and aren't holding up more than a month or so. Same goes for FieroJon's. He gets his from The Fiero Store or the same manufacturer.

x2 for Rodney Dickman.

You CAN always upgrade the entire headlight system to the Gen 2 (used in 1987-1988) which isn't too difficult, it just requires a few relays and a lighting module... and of course, the new motors. Everything else is the same from what I can tell.

I ordered the metal geaqr. Thanks
