Lucky for you nothing goes there. Looks like the PO tired to pull some serious power from those points and overloaded the circuit. Id pull the block loose and inspect the rear for exposed wires

Headlight motor fuses are in the convenience center on the other side under the drivers side

Be sure your issue is not mechanical before going too deep. Headlight motors need to be rebuilt about every decade. Its also common for the module itself to be giving out

Yeah i did some searching on here and found the Fuses. Ended up needing a driver side fuse.

Then they worked perfect. Now i have a New Driver headlight motor and awesome flip up headlights.

I will have to look behind the block someday also. I will inspect into it.
