    is it possible that my car sitting over the winter could have wrecked the motor? any way to test it at all, only one opens up but the lights both come on :)

    same question with my cd player that is now apparently dead, gotta look at the wiring but its not turning on :(

    motor could have seized...then blown the fuse...check that it moves manually...If it does then unplug the connector at the motor and ground out the two small wires on the outside one at a time....one should make it go up and one should make it go down....I can't remember the colors but there are 3 small ones and two large ones...the two large are power and ground and the two smaller outside ones are up and down with a negative trigger. Check to see if you have power at the one fat wire as well. If nothing makes it work then your motor is fubared.

    Did your battery sit with the car over the winter as well? Check that and your connections

    you manually move it with the adjuster thingie right beside each headlight motor. ANd I thought there was two fuses but I may be wrong. Either way unplug the connector and ground out the pins and it should go up or down

    I'm wiring some pop up head lights into my corona - whenever i wire in the large ones (ground and power) the lights keep going up and down regardless of how the other small wires are wired. Does anyone have any ideas on how to wire things without the factory chip?

    um maybe a swtich to manualy make them go up and down ? or when you hit the dim mode aka lights on them go up ? im not toooo sure sorry , but the corona had normal lights so it should have the extra stopper function on the light controlelr by ur steering wheel ,

    sorry good to wait for someone else to pop in

    Hmmm just had a look at wiring diagram and its going to be alot more difficult to wire a switch than I originally thought. Looks like I'm going to have to do the full wiring with a 'retract control relay'.
