Is it grinding or completely dead? We need a little more information. There is a manual adjustment **** under the plastic cap you can turn to get it down.

Occasionally one of mine won't go up and turning the manual **** on top brings it back to life. Possibly a dead spot on the motor but only happens once a year or so.

Are you saying it goes down then comes back up automatically? Maybe bad bump stops.

Have you checked the 4 rubber bump stops? You might need to replace them.

Also, there is a TSB, that calls for shimming the driver's side motor to fix what you are describing.

So you turn lights off. They both go down but the left one pops back up and if you lower it manually it stays down. Is that what is happening? If so, this will be an interesting thread. It may be a failing Head Light Control Module. Here is a post I did last year. Trouble shooting procedure my help you find problem. I'm not saying you should fix it the way I did if it turns out to be HCM. But then after a year my fix is still working perfectly.

Most likely is the bad bump stops. It goes down, but keeps rotating, which brings it right back up.

If it's missing the down bump stop you will be able to tell by manually lowering. If you can keep on turning after light is fully down and continuing to turn light will come back up. If you can not turn anymore after it's fully down, bump stop is ok.

I'm thinking if that's what's happening then when you turn lights back on light would do just the opposite. That is it would go down then go up again. .

As I mentioned above in Post No. 8 there is a TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) from GM addressing these very same symptoms in the driver's side headlight.

Usually the bump stops wear down on one side and not the other. They'll stop properly when going up, but not when going down. Also, the manual test is not a reliable one because you'll be able to feel the resistance of the stop, but the motor can overpower it if it is just marginal.
