Had this happen on my 90, but the headlight still opened, it just wouldn't close. There should be 5 little prongs in the connector - if any of them are broken, the headlight will not work properly. Unfortunately, I found that I could not just purchase the connector - fortunately I was able to pick up another motor, with connector attached, for $10 from a fellow club member. Either that or your car needs some Viagra. ;-D Iva & Belle.) '90B Classic Red.) #3 winkin' Miata |
