84 C4 Headlight Motor Problems

[Odigital]

Well,
here is my first posting for help. My passenger headlight motor will not operate. At first I thought it was the motor. So I have replaced it with a new motor. Then it work sometimes and when it did not I would wiggle the plug and will operate. Now Im not getting any movement. Thinking that it was an issue with the female plug on the car I splice the wires and connected them directly to each other without the plug. Still nothing!?. I have been to other forums and they talk about an, actuator a relay and some other issue but I want to stop guessing and see if any C4 out there has had this issue and has fixed it. Any suggestions?

I've heard the pre 86's are trickier than the rest. I'd give John over at AutoXTC a call (727-556-0335). He know's a crap load about the C4. I'm pretty sure you've already narrowed it down to the relay though.
