Default 1994 headlight problem

Good Evening, I am a new member and have purchase a 1994 2dr coupe corvette. I have been working on it and have a left headlight problem, it will not go up/down. I took the whole assembly off and pluged it into my right side head light connector and the motor, light all worked.
I re-attached it back up and it still does not work; are there any relays, fuses etc that I could check??? tks for help in advance, Don

update 3/2-I have verified that I do not have power on the drivers side, and traced the wiring up to
a fuse panel next to the left front tire, it has 30 amps fuses for the left headlight and rigfht headlight.
from that fuse panel is there a relay or any other place I should check????????
tks for the assistance. Don

I would think the 94 is same as my 95. I will try to dig out my FSM and get back to you later tonite, or in the morning. In the meantime fuse panel is on pass side of dash--open pass door and you will see it. I believe the relays are driver's side of the radiator shroud, but again i will need to consult the fsm to be sure.

Ok, the relays I referred to are for the engine cooling fans. The headlights/motors are controlled by a modulelocated just in front of the driver's side steer tire. Looking down from the driver's side you will see the round vacuum ball. Look just inboard of that and you will see the headlight control module. It is about 4"X4" and 1 1/2" thick with a four wire harness plugged into either side of it. I would check for a loose connection there. Hope this helps.

If the motor is running it is the bushings that have turned to powder
Very common problem They all do it
Do a search in C4 tech and you will find lots on it
Good luck and WELCOME
