Default Headlight assembly movement - 1990 Eclipse

I'm stuck without a manual - the headlights assembly is stuck open. Lights
work fine, etc. Looks like there is a rotating drive that pulls them up
and down. I don't see any air hoses going to it, so it might be electric.
Any help getting to the root of the problem would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

John

First things first, I say this from experience, having spent about an
hour testing voltages trying to figure out why the lights didn't go down
on my old 91 Laser...
there is a pushbutton on the dashboard that also makes the lights open
and close independent of the light switch.

Just make sure that you or someone didn't push that buttom in. It will
keep the lights open until you push it again.

The light mechanism is a 12 volt motor that rotates until it gets to a
certain position, open or closed.

There is a knob on the motor mechanism so you can rotate it manually.
As I remember it, you turn in the same direction to open or close.

Post back if you continue having problems. Ther is a manual available
online also.
