What would cause the headlight on a 1991 Mercury Capri to retract but not raise?
The headlights "retract" by gravity but lift via a lift motor. Failed headlight lift motors are probably one of the biggest problems on early 1990 versions of the Capri. If one headlight lifts fine but the other one won't, you'll need to replace the lift motor. Mercury did put a manual lift knob behind each headlight that can be turned by hand to lift the headlight into place in the event of a motor failure. You can use the lockout switch on the center console near the emergency brake to lock the headlights in the UP position once you get both of them up properly. This avoids having to open the hood and crank the knob every time you turn the lights on. Rebuilt lift motors are available online at many autoparts places that specialize in Capri - just Google "Capri headlight lift motor"

Different - L needs to be on L side (they are mirror images). Make sure you test the motor before replacing it though... pretty expensive even used.

How do you replace headlight motors in a 1991 Mercury Capri?
With great difficulty. Raise the light, remove the black plastic trim piece, remove the headlight bezel then remove and unplug the headlight. The housing/motor assy is held in by four screws but the lower two are blocked by either the windshield washer or colling water reservoir bottle (depending on side). The difficult part is that the car is build like a Chinese puzzle and you might have to remove a bunch of other stuff off to get the coolant reservoir off (I haven't actually done the other side and I hope not to). Good luck
What if your headlights will not flip up or down is the motor hard to replace on a 91 mercury capri?
Behind each headlight unit you will see a appx 35mm dia x 30mm high black rubber dust cover. These cover a manual raise and lower knob. Remove the cover and turn the knob cw or ccw to move the light assembly up or down. Often, when you do this, the trouble will be cleared.

To replace the headlight motor on a 240 SX Nissan, unhook the positive cable on the battery first. Then take a picture of the headlight motor before taking the old one off. Remove the wires and screws holding the other motor in place, then place in the new motor, tighten the screws, and hook up the wires while looking at the picture. Connect the battery cable.
How do you repair a 1987 corvette headlight motor The headlight opens O K but continues to run after it closes?
If your relays are working properly, you might have a stripped gear in the motor. You can replace the gear or the motor depending on your resources. If the headlight is loose, the gear more than likely has teeth missing.
