Default Headlight problem
I've got a problem that doesn't seem to be in the Search section. My RH Headlight will go down just fine, but won't go up. I switched Relays, and replaced the Isolator Relay with no change. When I took it apart, one end of each magnet looked weird... is this normal? I'm guessing I need a new Motor. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

What year?

If one of the early ones, it's probably a stripped plastic gear. The later ones can also strip the plastic gear, but most often chew up the bushings.

It's a late '86, 3-wire motor. The gears are ok, and it doesn't have bushings.
