Post subject:  Headlight help needed

So I put some power to to the car today to set the headlights and the window wipers etc

The headlights Work perfectly in manual mode turn the knob and they go up and down with no resistance
So I disconnected the headlight bar from motor and operated the motor by the switch fully up, fully down motor works perfect..going to be easy jobI thought :D
With the motor in the down position I re-attached the headlight bar, operated the switch...great up come the lights :)
When I try and retract the motor just twitches and does not retract, tried several times setting at the top, bottom and the wrongway around

Up it works
Manually it works
Down no go

Help any ideas :?

Found the problem not the fault

Motor is spinning in up direction only spins then stops each time the switch is operated same direction

Very confusing

I checked the output from the connector...all OK
Bench checked the relay all good
Checked relay terminal on the motor all good

So has to be the motor so took it apart all looks perfect

Open to ideas :?
