ok my problem is that when I bought my car both headlights stayed up I checked all the wiring and connections tested them all with a multimeter everything was fine so I went to GM and got new motors, the problem is that the new motors have 3 wires and the car has 4 on each side, I have checked manual after manual and they all show 3 wires so what gives? any one have a full diagram so I can rewire the whole circut? I have tried to figure it out by hooking the wires up at random and have only got the lights to go down but not up
oh yeah the car is a 82 TA with power everything if that makes a difference

 

well I would say that GM sold you the wrong motors, go in with an old motor and have them match the part numbers. I would check the swtich and logic module for the lights. Most likly the module because it is what changes the polarity to reverse the motors.

 

well I think I may have it figured out (not holding my breath) but the 4th wire (the one that has no place to hook up) has power when I flip the switch but then looses power when I flip it back and also one of them is constantly hot. I went to gm and asked if they could tell me anything about this car as alot of body parts I have gotten for it did not fit very well, I gave them my vin # and after waiting for about an hour the guy told me that there was only 4,280 and my car was # 1,408 of that produced, of that specific model) I have not been able to find clutch linkage alot of front end parts and brakes! every set of brakes I have ever bought for it never fit! GM told me that they could not even supply these parts I need because they dont make them and I would probably have to make my clutch linkage, my shifter broke and so I bought a hurst with the install and linkage kit (had to modify the linkage to make it fit.

 

What wires are hot and when?
Also, did you check all three relays?

 

yes all 3 wires have power when the switched is flipped the wires with power are yellow, red/white stripe, and blue. black ground head light motors have blue, grey, black.
