Default C5 pop up light problem

Just this week my right front headlight has begun to pop up at random times while I am driving and when it is just sitting in the garage. I can hear a very light clicking noise (from the right front light) that sounds like I have an electrical short and my battery is becoming drained from this. I took apart the light and all the wiring seems to be ok. There was no frayed wires or loose connections. What can it be??? Thanks in advance.

Could be the gears stripped. See post #27 in DIY sticky "*****The Ultimate DIY Thread .... with PICS ******* "

Don't think the gear is stripped. Was changed along with the pop up motor about a year ago. Thanks.
