Firebird headlight, oddity

For some reason my right headlight will not go up on its own the first time around, however, if i manually crank the light to the up position, i can turn it down/up a thousand times with ease, but after maybe 30 minutes it wont go up unless manually cranked and the process repeats.

Furthermore this process works by A: Cranking it up by hand once, or B: Turn the manual crank 3 counter clock wise revolutions to the left before using the power headlight motor.

But once again after 30 minutes of inactivity it goes back to step 1.

I have tried to rotate the gear 180 with no success to this problem.
