Default head light issues

the other night I turned on the headlights and the drivers side didn't go up. I turned them off then back on and it functioned normally. Tonight it did it again but didn't come back up after a few tried and now will not budge. any idea if its the motor or just the cheap plastic gear? anyone got pics of what I should look for or how to test to see which one it is? thoughts?

Sounds like you have a bad gear in one of your motors have someone turn on the head lights stand up front and listen for some grinding and you will know if it is the motor on the bad head light
