Are the headlight motors somehow tied into the Turn Signals ?

I've removed my headlight motors and snipped off the plugs from the wiring harness. My drivers side fender light powers up but the passenger side lights don't power up.

Let me know what the deal is.

Yes, I looked at the wiring diagram. That's geek to me. Ended up with a migraine.

I don't understand your question.

Did you remove the headlight motors and snip plugs attempting to fix your problem, or do you have a problem subsequent to removing and snipping (for mysterious reasons)?

Head Light Motors= Dead Weight. So, I removed them. I didn't want the ugly connectors hanging off the wiring harness, so I clipped them. Now, the signals don't work, neither does the passenger side headlight.

Likely cause, the ground for the motors is tied into the ground for the lights/signals.
