87 T/A No power to the driver's side headlight motor/ driver's side turn signal

Driver's side headlight wont flip up or down but turns on and driver's side turn signal doesn't turn on. Where the lights are turned on, left turn signal is illuminated in the car, but doesn't flash. i tested the headlight motors and the work fine, so I'm not getting any power the the side it seem. I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE TO START HELP PLEASE. I need to get it inspected very soon.

Headed In The Right Direction

It sounds as if there is an open ground on the left side.

Check them all with an ohmmeter.

Then check the headlight door module.

The headlight module is a rectangular unit about 3" x 4" mounted on a bracket on the left side firewall.

It has two connectors.

The connections responsible for opening the left headlight door are terminals 2C & 2D.

Also there are TWO circuit breakers.

You can probe the two orange wires going to the module to determine if the breakers are sending power to the module.
