Default Passanger Side Headlight will not go down.

Like the title says. Both headlights pop up fine. But it's the passanger one that will not go down at all. Any ideas as to what it could be?

sounds like the gear in the motor is stripped.

You can replace the motor or do the rotate the gear trick.

Basically the motor only uses one side for the gear so while the headlights up you can undo the bolt on the lever that moves the headlight up and down. Then use the manual **** on top of the motor to rotate it 180 degrees around then reconnect the rod and everything should work like normal until that side strips someday.
