Jumping the headlight motors
Jumping the headlight motors
I cannot get any answers as to what wires are in control of the headlight motors. What color are the wires the come out of my switch and go to the headlight motors to make them raise the lights?
I just need told what size and color the wires are that go from the headlight switch to the headlight motors.

It is shocking to me that there is not one thread on the rx7club that covers this, not one person who actually has the information. I find nothing but people saying "look it up" and dead threads that never came to a conclusion or had a person state what the color, size or routing of any wires are. Saying look it up in the manual is just saying "I dont know, and cant read the manual either". That is not very helpful. I was hoping for someone who can help.
I would like to keep the car stock and not modify the wiring, but I need to be sure what they problem is... If the links, fuses and wires are all fine, if the switch is sending current to turn the lights on, is the switch the problem or is the wiring the problem. If I knew the color of the wires going into the switch feeding it power and the wires color and size coming off the switch to the headlights it would be easy for me to trouble shoot if it is wiring, the switch or the motors itself.
So what i need is the color of the wires to the switch (pic would be great) and the color or pin position of the wires coming out and going to the motor.
If I cannot fix this and keep it stock my intents are to rewire the entire car with aftermarket relays, but this would be a last resort just to keep it on the road. I would rather it stay the time capsule and stock though. I do not trust local shops to respect the condition of the car to do this wiring, so I am relying on the community to actually give answers and not tell me to figure it out myself.

Please see my other r5esponse here: https://www.rx7club.com/1st-generati...op-up-1062184/. You can jumper the motor directly after taking the big connector off the headlight motor. I posted the schematic in that thread. I would abandon this thread and use the other for any questions. This way the next person that has this issue will get your thread and not a million asking similar help.
