Default Pop up headlights 1986????Whats Up???

Replaced the headlight motor in my 86 Accord Lxi, trying to get the headlight to pop up when the lights are turned on. One works but the other one does'nt. Is there some sort of fuse that will stop that thing from working properly or what?

yes there is either a fuse or a relay that sometimes blows when the motor goes out. it will need to be replaced.

Where might that relay be? Checked under the hood all seems well there.

i mean that a relay doesnt look blown or anything. they would be hiding in a black plastic box under the hood or possibly attached to the drivers side of the engine compartment next to the a/c relay and stuff
