Default One headlight won't rise

My driver's side headlight would not rise last night. If I rise it manually it will work a few times but after awhile I have to do it manually again. When I turn the lights off it goes down but the motor seems to keep on running for few seconds after it is down (grinding sound and the manual adjuster is spinning.)

Sounds like you are in need of a new head light gear. Search "headlight and will find lots of info.
