88 Firebird headlight doors

Asked by Sheeba12 Jun 27, 2019 at 10:42 PM about the 1988 Pontiac Firebird STD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My right side headlight will not pop up. I've removed the whole assembly and plugged it into the left side wiring. It work plugged into the left side wiring. I've taken the wiring loom apart enough to plug the right side wiring harness into the left side assembly and it won't operate. Both wires on right and left have power with the lights off. Both wires on right and left have no power with the lights on. I haven't determined what has power when the light switch is turned on and off. There is obviously a problem with the right side circuit. Is there a relay or controller to check? If there is, where is it located?

inspect the wire harness on the right side for damage and trace back to the fuse panel if you can. Also, inspect the connector on the right side for corrosion and try cleaning both sides of the connector with WD40 or similar anti-corrosion product.
