Yeah, I've spent a couple of months troubleshooting them in my spare time. Its insane. With the motors in my '88 GT it usually takes me an hour to fix them.
It started with the passenger side motor continuing to spin when it would shut off. So I got a rebuild kit from Rodney. I rebuilt it, put it in there, and the motor would run down the battery because it would sit there and "tick" all night. I got another motor from a Georgia Fiero Club member, it had the same problem, so I just unplugged the single wire that makes that motor go up. About a month after that the relay for the passenger side motor popped and started smoking. I unplugged it, and got a new relay. Now neither headlight motor goes up, I cleaned the grounds, moved the new relay to the isolation relay (sends power to both motors) because I was worried that main relay had also blown and the relays all looked the same and plugged in the same. That was to try and get at least the driver's side to go up. Right now, the driver's side headlight will
sometimes go down when the switch is set to off. It'll never go up. The passenger side will
sometimes go
up when the system is off. It'll never go down though, and it doesn't match the position of the switch. I'm through messing with them, there's probably something wrong in the relays, the harness, or inside the motors themselves, and at this point I might as well switch to the Gen II's.
buddy, I'll send you my old motors when I'm done with them heh. Right now I need a complete '87 setup (or possibly '88). From Cliff's write-up, it looks like it'd take me about an hour or so to get the new setup in. Right now I need my current motors to just hold up the headlights.
