Well after doing work on the car somehow I pinched the wires for the passenger side headlight motor. It now longer works and I believe there is a link or some type of relay which has blown.
I was going thru my manual and it does talk about fusible links and also a relay. Anyone real familiar with where they would be located?

Thanks all.
 
actuator not fusible link

Ok now I know it is an actuator, can anyone tell me the proper location. I am having a hard time tracing wires due to aftermarket junk that was added.

Thanks
 
Ok so the actuator is called the motor. It is not the motor as the motor is not getting power. Calling around it appears that I need a new relay which is mounted on the tirewell on the front side.
Hopefully this is it, now it is just a matter of ordering it.
The local corvette place has it in for 50 bucks. A dealership could order it for 12, The next could order it for 25. Is anything ever simple? L

Ok It turns out the cheap prices where from places giving me prices for a 3 relay system. My car only has 1 relay which is more expensive. The 50 dollars was for a used one from a local Vette
place.
 
Ah it just gets worse. I replaced the module as it indeed was blown. Now I get power to the headlight motor or actuator but it doesn't work. Must have blown that too. Maybe this is a good spot for a fuse or link so that it never happens again........
 
OK so can anybody help me out with the cheapest place for a used/ new headlight motor?
