Headlight help.

I own an 84 corvette. I'm having an issue with my headlights- the headlights go up and down, but the problem is that one of them does not stop running once it gets into position. The gears begin to grind. I had to unplug both in the on position, in order to save the the parts that do work. Any suggestions as to what it may be? A relay? Bad gears? I have no idea. Plz help.

There is a limit switch in the motor that stops it. Yours is not working. These early ones are sort of a pain to fix, if you have the $$$ you can get a new one on ebay.
