85 C4 headlight retraction problem
So my sister decided to take my son for spring break this week and the wife and I thought we'd celebrate last night by taking the old girl out for a cruise. All was well until we parked and I turned off the headlights. The driver's side light started to retract and then halfway, it stopped rotating. I could hear the motor still winding so I know that's ok, but the light stayed stuck half way open. I turned the lights back on and the driver's side rotated back up correctly, but it won't go down completely without help.
I'm thinking its one of the nylon gears but haven't looked at it yet, been stuck at work and won't be able to check it out until later this week. Anyone else have this problem? What was the solution? I'd like to order the parts so I have them ready for this weekend to install.
