If the motor keeps it from going down you may need to unplug it before you turn it down by hand.

 

it the motor is running, but wont close/open

you should try this

and you can just use some rubber hose for the bushings

 

After I posted this I went out (4hrs) later and pushed the button firmly in the cener and they both went down without issue. I am guessing it is the switch any comments?

 

I'm betting it is the Headlight Control Module, not the switch itself.

Are you working on a 3rd gen? Or the 4th gen in your sig pic?

 

what year is it? they changed the wiring design I believe in 86 or 87 to a solid state unit... if it's the later solid state design, the unit has a square black plastic case and is mounted right near the window wiper motor. The design will determine how you go about diagnosing the problem.

 

I am working on my 89 Formula...pics in vb garage.The 4th gen is one of my 2 I have the car in my Signature and a 99 Black convertible w/ Trans Am gfx

 

that would have the solid state controller.... sorry, but I only know the wiring setup for the earlier style with 3 relays.

 

There were also two different headlight control modules used on our thirdgen Firebirds. 1987-89 model years use one module. 1990-92 (actually all the way through 2002) used the other. They look identical on the outside.
