headlight motor

[Lucky 13]

I have seen many threads about the headlight gears stripping out and gringing, but mine doesnt make a grinding noise..... my right side headlight will go up and down no problem, but my left side has made a slow but sure decline and doesnt make any kind of noise ar anything, it just doesnt move..... whats the deal? bad motor?

Sounds that way. It acts like something is bound up from the sounds of things, but a slow/dead/dying motor would act that same way. I don't really know for sure whether your motor is bad or not, but maybe take the headlight assy. apart, remove the 10mm nut from the motor shaft, pry the actuating arm off, and move the assembly up and down, making sure that the whole thing isn't bound up.
