what could have happend?

I took her out of storage in May and really did not run her untill latley. The right headlight does not come up. It worked when I put her to bed but now it does not make a sound. The light comes on and the other one works so I need advise where to look. No sound or action at all so....?

Start by including what year Corvette you are asking help for. If you have the electrical diagnosis service manual, then look there for headlight motor problems.

Try turning it through by hand with the manual **** & a light tap or two on the motor housing with a plastic mallet.

Not sure how similar your 90 is to my 84, but can you open the headlight door manually? If similar, if you disconnect the headlight motor wire assembly you should be able to open the door with the manual control ****. On my 84 there is an actuator relay for each side, if you can locate these try interchanging them..( not sure of their location).. Hopefully someone with a 90 or more knowledge on the subject will jump in.. Good luck..
