Why won't 89 Chrysler new yorker headlights turn on?

Answer 1

First. Check the fuse. Second, make sure the headlight doors open. If the doors won't open, the headlights may be on, behind the doors. If it's the doors, a quick fix is, wire them in the open position, till you fix or replace the headlight door motor. (a whole different matter)

You could wire them in the open position but you don't have to. If you look under the front of the car you will see where the wire plugs into the motor that operates the headlight doors, unplug this wire. Then look below each headlight door and you will see a rod hanging down, this is there to operate your headlight doors in case the doors don't open. Turn these rods until your doors open and they will stay open until you plug your wire to motor back up, or you close them yourself.
