Headlight module?
Can someone shoot me a picture of what the headlight motor control module looks like and location on an '89 Trans-Am please? I think it the larger black square with two plugs going into it above my brake booster, but I am not sure.
Also, if I can manually turn the headlight motors up and down with the screws, but they require some help occasionally even still doing that, but do not go up or down, or even make any noise like they are trying to go up or down, does that mean the motors are bad, the gears inside, or the headlight motor module? Or some sort of combination of the above three? Or something else completely?
The lights work, so it is not the switch I don't think. If they are manually turned up I mean, they do come on every time when I flip the switch. Again, any help would be appreciated before I start this weekend on my many electrical gremlins :-p

Pull the plug off the headlight motors and see if you have any power to the wires, when they are turned on. (The up down) I don't know what wire controls the motor. If you don't have power work your way back to the box on the firewall. I will bet if it's both it's probably the box. If you have power to the box. It's probably not constant power. You may want to see if you can clean or lubricate the motors some if you have to help them up when you turn them manually so they go up and down easier.
