Reply to "Headlight doors won't open"

By motor gear, you mean the one on the motor shaft, right?

The headlight mechanism has a gear drive that the motor gear meshes with. It was a plastic gear with a metal hub. The plastic cracks and jams the whole shebang. Happens all the time as the plastic reaches the end of its life.

This same born-to-fail gear is also used in both door window gear drives.

Vendors have solid brass replacement gears for the nylon/metal OEM piece. Often only noted as being for the doors, but it is a direct swap for the headlights, too.

Look into your gear drive assembly. Pretty sure you'll find the problem.
