1) I have no idea

2) I have no idea

3) You have to explain it more... Like is the headlight motor still there? How did the light break and is it physical damage or electrical like a fuse blew out or something?

1. unbalanced compressor can cause shaking, just have the gas levels checked and recharged if necessary, that's ususlly what would cause that otherwise it wouldn't even shake probably

2. been there done that, never really figured it out but I ended up taking the caliper off a few times and putting it back and finally it went away, also you should get your rotors turned to get rid of warping

3. if something blocks the motor's motion (even the wiring harness can do that) it will jam partially open and the motor will keep trying to close (which eventually leads to a dead battery and maybe a burned motor), make sure the wires aren't blocking it behind the bulb (usually gets stuck underneath the light and it can't fully rotate down)

Or if in like my case and its been wrecked before and the headlight frame is bent somehow, the arm that connects the motor to the headlight frame could be bent or damaged and is getting jammed somewhere. Check it out and make sure the arm is OK. If you are able to manually make it flip, there may be a problem with the motor.

haha I just read my post which makes no sense. The unbalanced compressor will cause shaking, the low gas level is what will allow it to turn on (which u can tell it is on by the shaking) yet still not cool.
