Listen the wiring to your car is over 10+ yrs old. When you finally find the
2 wire connection to the headlamp motor you will most likely find more
corrosion at the connector enough to straighten Ken's HAIR!. All kidding
aside straightening the 2 wire connector (which is what you did by hitting
it) got the current flowing and the motor moved etc. all of this stuff is a
good winter project which I do on my 512 every year and itâs a 93 model!
If you have any questions hit me up, glad you got it to work. By the way how
often do any of you drive your cars at night? Or better yet turn on all the
lights and do a walk around the car prior to moving out? I do it as part of
my pre-flight check, but that's a pilot thing.

OK...swapped the fuses and relays with no result. 
Rotated the manual control which worked fine. Swapped
the relays back. 

Reached underneath the car to the wires on the botom
of the motor and brushed against "something" and the
motor went down.

Guess I've gotta crawl under tomorrow and check all
those connections.

Thanks to everyone for your help

Steve
