Headlight motor...
Ok guys for a while the darn driver’s side hasn't been moving. The relay still works.
Today I fiddled around with it, it was still getting electrical current jus not much when you spun it had some kind of resistance to me spinning it.
What I ended up doing what when I went fully down kept spinning it to sort of, in my mind, enable it to spring back when next enabled, and it worked.
It goes up and down now.
Why would it have stopped working in the first place?

PS: spell checked, there ya happy?

no the manual crank of the motor, it wasn't primmed so to speak. It hadn;t been working for a week. The light stayed up and the car looked gay. I had to drive with the lights on as to not look so stupid.
But today i got fed up with it and manually jacked it down, then turned ont he switch.
Nothing happened except the relay clicked.
so i spun it to match where it was supposed to be.
Then i flciked the switch and thew knobb turnewd slightyly. and if i hit it every second it would make its way down. But neded assistance. So when it went down i kept turning' it even more as to i guress prime the darn thing. And it ende dup working just how i envisioned.

This is the part of his thread that I tried understanding but couldn't...

I think gibberish has now become the official language of TGO.
Besides, you guys are really expecting too much from him aren't you?
