2day i hit a bump in the road and the driver side light went out. I shut the car down and turned the lights off..... passenger light folds down but the driver side stays up, and i can here the motor tring to pull it down and then stop for a sec and try again. I didn't want to bunt the motor out so got under the car and checked the light harness. uuuuhhhhh light...lolol but still have the pop-up light problem. I noticed that the arm on the inside was in the incorrect place. some how it got forced back farther bown and was jammed. Like an stupid-O I tried to put it back to the place that the other side had its, but it popped. a little blue peice came off and the arm just it not attached to the light lid. the blue piece doesn't appear to be broke but just off. I need help to put it back and fix it:confused: :confused: :confused: :( :( :( :help :help :help

check to see if the cap for the manual spinner on the motor is still in place. if not it has popped off on me and jammed below the linkage and not let the light drop, causing exactly the same thing you described ;)
