The pair only cost 20 with postage - if the motor has gone, the other is the same age so it would make sense to have both ?
I would like to buy them, how do I contact you?

I will be interested once I pass smog test.

Send picture and tell me how we transact this - is shipping cost to California prohibitive? Are you a parts retailer?

Re: Help -- Headlight problem

I also hooked up the driver side headlight motor with the power from the good motor and it did not work. The problem seems to be motor. I also cleaned up the window washer system and it worked grea...

Re: Help -- Headlight problem

Hi Chris. It does seem likely that it's a motor fault. Maybe a good test before throwing it away would be to disconnect both red wires.....one at E3 connector (this headlight) and the other at E4 connector behind the other side headlight.

I would go straight for the red wire into or out of connector E3. That's the 'Up' feed to the motor. If that's a broken wire or a bad contact I think y...

Re: Help -- Headlight problem

Page 188 of the Haynes manual. What is interesting is when the headlights are down and you manually turn the top of the motor counter clockwise the motor turns on and the headlight goes up and down and then stops.
