I searched and read the topics I found on the subject. The topics mostly describe how the headlight motor system works. None describe what the typical problem is and how to fix it.

In my case, (1975) the headlight motor itself works. The right side headlight always comes up, but recently does not always go down. Is there a problem with the motor, a relay, something else? There is no obvious adjustment.

Any results Nick?

Swap the relays from side to side. If the problem trades sides, you have a bad relay.

If they both work, it was a dirty connection at the relay contacts.

If the right is still bad then it's the motor or wiring on that side.
