1. There is no underhood electrical center. Even on the '91.
2. There is no fuse for the headlamp door module. It uses 3 fusible links for power. Check the junction block by the pass side headlight or whatever side yours is on, and down by the starter.

Project Raven is on hold... She's a body shell with a rather large collection of parts. 1987 Pontiac Firebird, T-top, 1991 VIN T engine, getting MegaSquirted. 85 T-5 5-Speed manual trans. Hybrid 3100 V6 swap nearly complete, too much body work to do first . Restomod in progress. So many parts to replace, so little money .
What did you mean as junction block? I see 3 fusible links in the wires that go from battery to somewhere under the engine (I think to the starter, but haven't checked it out yet). Should I check these?
The ones on the starter are a good place to start. IIRC, the main power wire for the module comes from there. If you haven't molested/upgraded your electrical system (the big 3 wires), the wire running from the BAT terminal on the alternator should run into the junction block (or the little wire from the positive battery cable, either/or).
In my 91 TA I have 2 fuses labeled HDLP 1 and HDLP 2 If I remember correctly they are 15 Amp. They are all by them selfs with a flasher. if you look even with the left side of the console, behind the dash , just below the right side of the guage cluster. There is also a blank spot for where the rear defrost relay/module would be but I dont have that one plugged in. The only other way I can describe how to see it is lay on your back with your head by the gas pedal and look up towards the center air ducts.
its not a fun position.
I found these fuses and both were fine. So I disassembled the Headlight door module and guess what - there were two fusible links inside and one was blown. I replaced them with fuse holders and fuses and now both doors work fine again.
