I bought my 84 T/A Recaro about 2 weeks ago. For the first few days we didn't have any problems with it. Now that I've had to drive at night, my headlights will turn on but then when i turn them off, the motor won't work. As soon as i turn them on with a new fuse in, the fuse blows.. Everytime. This car was a gift for my husband but has become my project since I love working on cars and electronics. If anyone knows how to fix this, please help me. I really would like to fix this soon.

First thing I would do is trace down the wires on both sides to make sure they are not pinched anywhere. Then if all that seems O.K. find a used but known to be good (borrow from a friend if possible) headlght module. it is located on the firewall near the brake booster/master cylinder. also check the wires there. Or you may need new motors. could be a short inside one of them. and they should be fairly easy to find. They are all over the place here. And if they are bad you can also do some ever so slight rewireing to make newer style motors (which are rebuldable as far as some parts are concerned) or just sell the car to me (just kidding) Good luck. And let me know if you find any body or interior parts lying around. I need some

 

OK. I'm responding again becasue nothing is working. I spoke to a buddy of mine that is great with TAs and Camaros. He thought it was a pinched wire but we didn't see anything. Then I tried removing the stereo to see if that was a problem with it because this problem didn't start till after an aftermarket cd player was installed. I replaced the headlight switch and still nothing. I even checked all the wires around the switch. I was also told to check all the relays. I have no idea where all the relays are. If anyone can help it would be great. I need to check those relays and where all the wires run. I good wiring diagram would be nice too.
and where exactly is the headlight module. I don't even know where on the firewal it would be.
Thanks
