Headlight motors not working - not relay or motor related, need help!

Hey Guys,
My cars have always been known to be the prototype when it comes to unusual problems, but here's a new one.
My right headlight stopped popping up, then started popping up and not popping down, I tried switching the relays around, and accidently used the isolation relay in place of the right headlight relay. Since then it has stopped working MOSTLY, but still every now and then will pretend nothings wrong and work.

When it's not working however, its because the relay itself is not getting any power.
The LH relay has a constant power on at least one of the plug pins, but the other one does not. Is there anywhere further down the headlight harness where this could be being caused from?

And additionally, can i tap into the LH power for the relay and run the right motor off the different relay btu same 12v hot and open sources from the other one?
