Headlights Open/Close

25

Asked by JohnBoySS Oct 23, 2012 at 03:50 PM about the 1988 Pontiac Fiero Base

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Can someone tell me what the little knob/valve by each headlight is? I have discovered that when one or both won't go up/down I can turn the knob counterclockwise then they will work ok a few times. Just curious. :)
They eventually will stop going up/down so I have to do it again. What's up with that??? :)

I think you're referring to the manual raise/lower knob. Also, rebuilding these headlights is not very difficult. You can get a kit here: http://rodneydickman.com/catalog/product_info.php? cPath=32&products_id=231 I believe that knob has to be "tightened" so that everything enganges properly. I don't remember which way it turns though. I would recommend turning it until it starts to raise the headlight, then turn back until it doesn't and see how that works for you.

My Fiero battery has died and the key dose not work, (for what ever the reason). I need to get into the trunk space to charge the battery.

How do you get the front deck lid open? 6 answers

Can't find any switch, wire, nothing. Just bought this and looks like there are some loose wires here and there. Where would the switch normally be located?
