Default Headlight question

My passenger side headlight will go up when you turn them on but will not go down. The only way to make it go down is by the hand crank! The drivers side is fine! Anyone have any ideas how to fix this??

Thanks Brian

My guess is the 3 bushing need to be replaced, I believe there is a sticky at the top page that will walk you through the procedure. Did mine last year and it take about 45 minutes for the first light and 30 for the 2nd. Bushings around $10.00. Sticky under tech at top of page.

If the motor is running, at least briefly, but it is not moving it is likely one of the relays in the control module has gone bad. The module is in the well directly in front of the left steering tire. If the motor does run then the bushings are shot, which is actually an easier and cheaper fix. There is also the possibility that somehting is jamming it, check that first.
