2000 C5 Headlight motor issues
I have replaced a passenger side headlight motor. Upon replacement the unit worked for about 2 days. Now the unit only works if I spin the dial about 1/8 of an inch (either direction) before starting the vehicle. Then the light will go up and down until the vehicle is turned off. Trouble shooting steps I have taken:
Cleaned ground points in the engine compartment.
Tried reversing the connections of the motor
Is there some adjustment that I am missing on the headlight itself? I am at a loss any suggestions?

In addition to that, there is a TSB for the driver's side headlight motor that calls for shimming it (number 2 in diagram below).
