You guys with firebirds, if a light has been manually poped up, how do you re-ingage it into the motor?

 

If the motor is good it should go down by it self.

On my '86, I can't manually put up a motor unless I unplug the motor's 3-wire connector from underneath the car. Then I can manually spin it up. To get it to engage again, I just hook the 3-wire connector back together, and the motor takes over and spins itself back down.

If you didn't have to unplug the harness to get the headlight to pop up, maybe your motor's burnt? If I don't unplug the harness, the motor keeps trying to close the headlight on me.

Engage the motor again, or twist the **** in the other direction.
