Lights wont pop up

I have a problem. I was replacing my timing chain + gears, and went to turn on my headlights, and the lights turn on, but the lights dont pop up (They worked before). The motors aren't even getting power (or so it sounds). The only thing I unplugged was the AC Compressor, so is there any plugs that are near by that are for the light motors? Where is the ground for the motor? Any ideas?

The motors ground on the radiator support on each side of the radiator. It sounds like the module on the firewall isn't getting power.

Re: Lights wont pop up

any idea where this module is? I gave a general look around and didnt see anything unplugged. I did have to jack up the motor to replace the pan, so its very possible its unplugged, cut wire, or damaged. thanks

Just went out and tryed it, and they went up the first time, and every time after that they didn't. So my guess is that something is damaged.

The module is on the firewall to the right of the wiper motor and above the brake booster.
