Default Headlight Issue

Howdy folks. Me again. OLD, Slow, not mechanically inclinded. FIRST: HeadLight (passenger side) won't go all the way up. I will get fixed, HOWEVER, for today I need to manually Open the headlights so I can use them in the car in the early morning. I opened and it worked fine but as soon as I turned off the ignition, they both went down again.

I was told to remove two wires from the connectors, but which ones was not mentioned.

Sure could use some help. Yes, I ahve been ready the DIY section but replaceing gears is all I've found.

Any help would surely be appreciated

Thanks

Dale

You should be able to locate the electrical connector to each HL motor, those would be the connections to remove.

Thank You for the reply. I did that, but then the headlights do not work.

I was told that in the 5 wires of the connectors, two of them control the opening and closing of the headlight assembly. I just don't know which ones.

If someone knows which ones to disconnect, it might save me from destroying the whole system.

Cheers

Dale

Howdy Chuck

Sorry I've been so stupid. Old age is hell. I have a 95 base coupe.

I may have to do the old pull one plug at a time trick.
