I would suggest checking the isolation relay, but I know that the headlight motor wiring was changed quite a bit between the 86 and 87 models, so yours may not have one.

run battery power to the motors to see if they are working. if they move freely then its probably the headlight door module on the firewall. pretty common for it to go bad.
