headlight motor relay?
where is the relay that controls the headlight motors on an 85 trans am. my headlights go on, but they do not go up or down. if you wire them directly to the battery, they work, so it's not the motors. we tested the switch inside the car, that is fine. we can't trace the wires to the relay that controls the headlight motors. does anyone know exactly where this is?

The isolation relay is mounted behind the right hand headlights. The left hand actuator relay is mounted at the left hand front of the car on the fender. The right hand actuator relay is mounted at the right hand front of the car on the fender. The two fusible links are mounted in the headlight wiring bundle near the left radiator shroud.

the isolation relay can be found by reaching in front of the battery in the engine compartment. I just replaced mine today.
