My searchlight is original equipment. I don't see the brand but most closely resembles a Jabsco 62040-4002. Using remote switch, it goes right and returns; however, when it goes left, it won't return. Where do you think I should start. Replace the switch or tear into the light itself?
 
Check the allen head set screw on the shaft at the bottom of the main housing. Mine seems to come loose once a year and tightening the set screw fixes it.
 
It is likely missing tooth on horizontal gear. That gear is stationary and once you reach that spot motor wont return light to center position. Luckly that gear is not permanently mounted in that position. There is a spring holding it in its place. Since this light doesnt rotate 360 you be able to prolong its life. Remove reflector to gain the access. Now locate broken part on horizontal gear and carefully rotate gear so broken part facing aft of the boat. Dont spray any lubricant since there is a cork gasket acting like clutch. Once saturated with lubricant it will slip and render light useless.Test if it moves both ways and resemble.
