More headlight issues
I have an 87 C4. Last night the right headlight wouldn't go down after a fun day of driving. A few quick questions.
Is there a quick way to tell if it is the motor or the relay?
Are there only 3 relay switches total for both sides or does each side have 3?
Is there a way to retract the headlight on an 87 manually?
Thanks in advance.

There's a little white **** on the motor that will retract it just unplug the motor first as it could activate while you're turning it pinning your hand I would retract it then plug it in and try it that will tell you if it has power if you don't have a meter and fsm you can also switch the relays around to see if that works good luck
Found the **** to turn at the bottom of the motor. A little different from the videos I've seen. Newer motors have the **** on top. Thanks for the advice. I am a newbie Corvette owner. So, I apologize in advance for all the what seem like basic questions. So far, this forum has been AWESOME! Appreciate the help!
