Headlight light squealing like a pig
This morning, My driver side headlight on my 04 made some squealing noises when I went to lower (turn the lights off) this morning. I "tested" a couple of time and the headlight goes up with no problem but make a squealing noise when I try to lower it. My guess is that the gears are going? The funny thing is that if I apply a little pressure on the side of the motor, the noise stops and the light drops normal.
So, is the motor dying on me or do I have an alignment issue (binding?) as the pressure on the side makes the motor function properly?
Thanks for your help!

Have you checked if there is any kind of visible binding in the linkage? Compare the mechanism to the other side for any different behavior when closing.
