I check the fused for retractable 30A and its Fine cause the otherside works. i seem to cant find the relay?? is it nedt to the headlight???

I might be wrong, but only the early 86-87 had retractor relays independent of the headlight retractor assy. I think on your car they're inside the retractor assy.

Someone else might verify the above.

There is no external relay, the relays are built into the motors. All shown very clearly in the wiring diagrams...

I can't find my contacts and my dog ate the FSM.

But, the author of the thread might try something. He might turn the **** below the headlght motor and turn the **** til the headlight starts coming up. It's possible you might get the thing to work intermittently til you get a new retractor motor.

You might have to turn the **** til the headlight goes all the way up. Keep your fingers out of the way of the headlight assy when doing that. If the circuit gets *made* while your turning the ****, the headlight might just go up/down all by itself and snap your fingers off.

There's a relay about a foot away from each headlight. I've seen it. My last RX-7 had corroded relay contacts. Though it's possible that the previous owner pulled the relay out of the retractor assembly and left it dangling on its cord.

Like Hailers said, that's early models only. This is for an S5.
