I don't know which would be the problem. My lights will only pop up only after I hit the switch like 5-15 times. The motors doesn't continue to spin after there up so the gears must be fine. so can it be the relay even though they will pop up after a few tries?

 

could be a sticking relay or worn brushes on the motor switch. Don't rule out the gears so quick - once they engage the motor will stop when the light goes up. Have someone hit the switch while you look at the motor - if it spins when the switch is on, but does'nt move it's the gears.

The actual headlight switch could be dirty and not making good contact. Do the lamps light up when you hit the switch?

 

The lights do light up when I hit the switch.

 

Then the switch is probably OK. If both headlights are doing the same thing, then it could be the master relay.http://www.autozone.com/servlet/UiBr...3d801eef19.jsp

 

Yeah, both are doing the same thing. will check out the master relay...Thanks : )

 

There is another thread where I wrote a paragraph on exactly how the relay headlight system works. The chillton's wiring diagram is also quite definitive on the subject when it comes to colors and function. The thread is "firebird headlights" under user "dillardracer".

 

Yup, it was the Isolation (master) relay. I went to the junk year and pulled a few of them since they were dealership parts.

 

Glad I could lend a hand, at the risk of egotism, saving people's asses is my claim to fame!
