either the little bushings inside of the motors have turned to dust, or the headlight control module has gone out on the car.

Headlight Module

Do you know where the healight control module is located at?

at one point on my 86 Trans-Am, my lights would not go up but if I by passed it direct to the battrey they would go up and down
but when I would turn on my lights on they wouldn't go up but if I manually brought them up and I would turn my lights off they would automatically go doen by themselves.

Any hel is greatly appreciated

Eric...

The module is located behind the brake booster, a big box with two plugs and GUIDE written on it.
