Default Headlight buckets

Well still have headlight issue, I found some plug diagrams for the motors and my motor up wire is constantly hot and motor down barely lights up test light. headlights are down and nothing changes when I turn multifunction switch except lights come on. could the switch be bad or have a bad ground, or the headlight module? any help would be appreciated.

Does the car start make sure your battery is good, they have a pretty high draw! Just a suggestion!

Yea I think I have it narrowed to control module. I grounded the motor down wire on plug that gpes into control module and bucket came up. Im assuming the module swaps your ground depending on if you're goin up or down
