Default Drivers Side Headlight??

Suddenly, the drivers side headlight on my 1994 LT1, operating fine before I parked, will
not open all the way. It just "flutters" like a butterfly. Tried making an adjustment with the adjustment ****, but it seem to get worst. Please help. I haven't checked the FSM yet, but I will. Thank you kindly.

I'm assuming it's an 88 or newer. The nylon motor bushings (actually pellets) have disintigrated. Do both sides.

Check to see that the relays on the side of the radiator have not blocked the headlight from rotating.

What, if any, are other possibilities that could cause this headlamp
problem -- other than bad or worn-out bushings? Thanks for the
replies.

99% of the time it's them bushings. If the motor spins but the lights dont flip thats the proble. Open the hood and turn on the lights if they still dont flip then they are not getting hung up on anything. I'm in sterling Va and can fix em btw .
