I started to thread like this a while ago but it has been months and I have lost it I've already replaced the headlight switch and made sure both the relays were working I have to hold my headlight switch right on the halfway spot for the motors to come up if I flick it all the way on and they won't move does anyone know what I could do to fix this I've just recently replaced one of the motors

I tried but I think I may have accidentally wiped it out from my emails and I've never been able to get the search function in the forums to work on my phone

So, did you see your thread when you clicked on my link?

Oh I'm sorry I didn't the that was a link

I don't use a phone to access PFF, so I'm just curious... don't hyperlinks show up differently than regular text in a forum post?

Yeah I don't know if I didn't let the page load completely or if I'm just a little stupid but I didn't notice that the text was yellow sorry about that

The 86 Fieros have the Gen 1 headlight system that is trouble prone. Problem could be the control module. If that is the issue no new ones are available but one can be made using a DPDT relay. The gen 1 headlight motors also have internal limit switches that could malfunction and a very flaky gear mechanism that uses internal inserts that deteriorate.

Time to pull out a meter and the wiring diagram and measure some voltages in and out of the switch and isolation relay.

Since you say you replaced a bunch of parts, it could be simply an issue in the wiring. Download a copy of the factory service manual (I gave you the link in one of your other threads). They have a step by step procedure in them for troubleshooting the headlight system.

Lesson learned: test first and then replace parts - not the other way around.
