Headlight level adjustment failure

Hi all

Has anyone had a headlight adjustment failure? Basically, the passenger headlight doesn't adjust its level anymore. The driver-side headlight does however move up and down when adjusted by the dashboard rotary control knob. Might have to break out the multi-meter and go tracing wires, but any tips or starting points would be gratefully received.

Thanks
Richard

So after manually adjusting the fog lights to get a Warrant of Fitness cert, I figured I'd go ahead and diagnose my failed passenger-side head light level motor or wiring. Got the service docs from Ford, tools out, multi-meter in hand... and sure enough, it was unplugged at the motor. I don't know why it was unplugged because they shouldn't just vibrate loose, but I'm just gonna take the win.

Make sense, fancy 3 pin plug on the motor.

Unfortunately I don't have them but will soon :)
