Reply to "headlight lights come up 2 inches and stop - 1971 Pantera"

bahMember

Headlight doors go all the way up and down with the manual crank so gears seem to be okay. Effort to turn the crank varied between hard to turn and easy to turn. My hands were like hamburger meat after a while. Crank is much easier to operate from the bottom with the car up on ramps.

Headlights themselves burn just fine. Door motor slows and strains before stopping. Coating external gears with moly grease didn’t make any difference. Any advice for next steps to locate and solve whatever is binding?

Also - If anyone is going to the Euro Auto Festival in Greenville, SC this weekend:

Stop by and say hello. I’ll be the guy with the red ’71 Pantera that needs to get home before dark :-)

Thanks for the help. Much appreciated!!
