Headlight motor issue

[Mark Breton]

Hi All

When last out at night when I tried to turn on the headlights the motor did
not operate for a while but worked after a while with repeat switching.

So I looked at it the next day and it failed to operate at all. I found
that the headlights were on in the down position which is fine for aircraft
spotting but little use for driving.
I gave the manual operating knob a nudge and it worked and has worked
since.
I have operated the hand drive up and down a few times and lubricated the
linkages and it still all works.

Does the collective have experience of this ? Any thoughts re the cause ?
Is there any recommended maintenance to the actual motor  ?

Many thanks Mark 1984 S2 Manual
