headlight gears
If you are familiar with the gears going bad here is a free fix that worked for me
I handcranked the headlight up
took off the 10mm nut holding the arm to the motor ( you gotta take the top cover and black side cover off )
hand cranked the motor until the shaft rotated 180 degrees
re-attached the arm
hand cranked the light back down
no vid , no pics , just good info here.....
Then hit the headlight switch....works good as new
WHY ?
the motor uses only 1/2 the
gear
so....you get 1 freebie fix.....
if it happens
again....brass gear time.....
worst case , it gets you by for awhile until you can repair it correctly
ps....be careful out there...a lotta blue vettes have been crashing lately

More like necessity is the mother of invention. It happened to me on a holiday weekend .How's that old saying go: Give a lazy man a tough job and he'll find an easy way to do it? Just kidding. Great idea.
