Members of Greatness,
Today, when I tried to put my headlights down after dropping my fiance off, the driver side light did not go down. It didn't move an inch, nor did it act like it wanted to move. The lights still illuminate, but the rotating shaft coming out of the driver side motor doesn't rotate at all. It had a full range of motion yesterday. I have already replaced the faulty plastic gears with the brass ones, and again, there is no motion of any kind from the driver side light. So, aside from never buying a car with pop up headlights again, does anyone have any advice on how to troubleshoot the problem and see what is wrong? Would it be reasonable that the headlight motor died at this age and mileage (80,000), or should I be suspecting wiring or something else? Thanks!
