The plastic gears in the headlight motors disintergrate after time. I searched on the web and found someone who sells a gear replacement kit for around $20. It came with instructions and I pulled out each motor and opened each up and after a powdery substance poured out of each motor, (the disintergrated old gears) I inserted the new gears reclosed the motors and reinstalled. To this day both my headlight motors work like new. It is easy if you are mechanically inclined at all. That's the only answer that I know of. You can leave the situation alone for now but eventually the gears will completely give out causing the headlights to stay up down or both. There is not limit relay; when you flip the headlights down does it sound like a spinning noise? If so, the motors have gone bad and need to be replaced. Autozone. Life Time Warranty.

What is needed to repair the headlight covers on a 1991 Chrysler Lebaron after forcing them open because the car had to be jump started?
It is possible that you broke the motors when you forced the covers open. Try turning the headlights on and off and listen to see if you can hear anything from the motors. If you do, check to make sure that the connecting rod between the covers isn't broken.
What could cause the headlights to go on but not up on a 1985 Celica GTS if the motors are working?
If the motors are working, then there has to be a problem between the motors and the lights. If they are only "working" though if you bench test them, and they don't actually do anything when you turn on the lights, then there must be an electrical problem such as a break in a wire or a bad ground to the motors.

Your 86 Fiero headlights will not come up?
They may just need the "cobwebs" worked out by using the manual "emergency" knobs located on the back of the headlight motors. You can do this by turning them on, opening the front hood, and then turning the knobs in the indicated direction. It takes a while though. If they still don't move after trying this a few times to free things and adjust the brushes, then you may need to repair, rebuild, or replace the headlight motors. F-Body cars of the same generation used the same motors, but the left/right were switched. There are several repair kits available online, as well as repair instructions. You can look on various Fiero community websites, or see what Rodney Dickman currently has available. I'm not going to link anywhere because I don't know if it will violate the terms of usage here, but try searching on the web. Good luck!
