So, I had to replace my headlight motor because of a crack in the motor housing. I also found a crack in the horse shoe so found a used one. Got everything back together and this is what I get


When I turn on the headlights, the drivers side lights and stays closed; the passenger side opens and lights. When I turn the lights off, the drivers side goes off and moves to open position. The passenger side works normal. I replace the motor on the drivers side. Are these motors polarized? Not sure if that is correct term, but could wiring be reversed when it was remanufactured?

Use the manual adjustment and turn it back the other way.

Yeah, I did that in both positions. Still worked opposite when switch used.

I read the following from a Google search leading back here
"That was it; I had the motor on backwards. I just flipped the motor and its now working perfectly. Thanks for the help everyone. "
The motor will only mount one way to the bracket right? I will try to post link to thread

You buy a new motor? Or a used motor?
