Anyone know how long it takes for a good healthy motor to rotate the bucket 180 degrees.
 
my cars...just click on the picture, these are YouTube videos I uploaded years ago. And also note that the motors opening and closing from side to side are never the same.....

you will also note that the black cars headlights do not come on until the doors are fully open...just a slight modification I made to be different

Also note that my parking lights are also on when the headlights are on...the original design was the front parking lights went off when headlights were on

Driver's is faster on both cars.
Now I'm wondering if the longer wire run to the passenger's side might be the cause of that.
And in opening, the difference is much more pronounced.
The extra load on the system with the lights "on" perhaps?
 
Mine work but if I don't use them for very long I have to help the passenger side at first then its fine until is sets again for to long. They have never been in time with each other.
 
How cool! Who cares how long?
