Left headlight adjuster does not change aim

[dozxab]

As in the title, my left headlight adjuster does not change the aim of the headlight. Right side is fine. Could I have gone too far with it at some point? I did adjust them when I leveled it but just wanted to tweak it a bit now that it is getting dark early.

If you are turning the adjustment screw and nothing happens, it sounds like something came apart in the adjustment mechanism in the headlight assembly.

That is what I was afraid of. Hoping there is an easy fix.

You might try putting slight downward pressure on the headlight lens while turning the screw to try to re-engage it, if it became unscrewed.

Actually, it might be better to push in on the lens while turning the adjuster screw to try to engage it.

It worked! I had nightmares last night about pulling half the nose off the truck to get at it.

Glad that it worked out for you.

Thanks.
I almost didn't recognize you without your police uniform.
