[DeTomaso] Headlights Not Going Up and Down

[Trevor Fougere]

My headlights refuse to go up and down.  Here's what I know:
 
1 - I can hear the relay click when I turn the headlights on.  (The lights
turn on - even though they don't come up). So I'm getting power transfer to
the relay.
 
2 - My headlight motor was dead.  Even when powered straight from the
battery.  It has been replaced and rotates when directly connected to the
battery.
 
3 - The motor does not turn when the headlights are turned on.  I have
lowered the bracket holding the motor so that the gear is not engaged.
Still no turning.
 
4- The stop switches have both been replaced. I have tried all possible
combinations of the stop switches being depressed and undepressed.  Still no
turning.
 
5- When everything is detached from the rotating bar, I can manually lift
the headlights...and, of course, they freely drop back down again.
 
At this point I am thinking it's gotta be the relay.
 
Any thoughts?  Is it simply a case of replacing the relay?
 
Thank you in advance....
