[DeTomaso] Headlights don't go up, take II

The plot thickens, but thanks Will for pointing that out - you are dead on.

When I try to lift the headlights by hand, they raise freely the same 1/2"
and then they and totally blocked against something and won't go up any
further. I don't want to pull too hard and bend something, but I think we're
getting closer - the buckets are jammed and will only raise a little bit.
I'll keep investigating - I wonder what may have happened?

I would also check that the headlights raise by hand without obstructions.

With the motor assembly removed, you should be able to lift them by hand.
The only resistance should be gravity.

I¹m sure you¹ll find it, though.  If it is skipping, it shouldn¹t be too
hard to find the source.
