Default Lazy Eye

I'm about to clean my headlights and notice my passenger light comes up half way.

I crank it up manually and it goes down by itself.

A few more power cycles and it now operates fully by itself but does
hestitate about half way up.

Is this a motor thing of maybe some linkage is binding?
I took the cover off but didn't see anything unusual.

Any ideas?


Thanks...GeorgeC

Sounds like the gear is getting stripped. I would be willing to bet that it will be completely toast soon. :nonod:

Hmmm...Looks like I'm gonna' find out how good
Warranty Direct is!

Funny thing is, I don't think I've had those lights up
50 times since I got the car.

Thank...GeorgeC

Yes George, there is help for you and millions like you.
Twilight along the Jersey beaches with that special someone and that time comes. You know the time I'm talking about don't you George. It comes up some but not all the way. You try to get it up manually but it just comes right back down. We know that this is downright humilating and frustrating to us and our special passenger. We keep trying and we can eventually get it up but only after agonizing efforts. We check out our equipment and it looks fine. There is a fix George.. it's called PermErection. No more embarrassment, no more waiting, no more problems. Just sent $9.95, $49.95 for Corvette owners to me. I will send you detailed instructions. All you need to supply is some coat hanger wire and some super glue. :seeya
