Default Headlight motor help?

Hey guys, I've tried searching this one out, but now I'm at a loss. My left side headlight will not go up and down, while the right side functions fine. I have no power at the headlight motor/harness itself. I do have power at the fuse block under the hood. I've also disassembled the switch, but it appears there is only one contact to control both motors. I'm hoping someone here may have a further thought.

This should help: Two fuses, 1 left, 1 right.

That does help, thanks. Any idea as to where that module might be hiding?

Did you check the 2 fuses with a meter, or switch them?

metered the sockets, switched the fuses, and metered the new ones.
