'67 Headlight doors

I have tried all the suggestions from the old threads posted and still no luck. I have put in all new relays, new circuit breaker, new limit switches and new headlight motors. Now the passenger side door opens but does not turn the motor off, and it doesn't close when lights are turned off. The driver side doesn't open or close but the motor runs. I've tightened the motor arms to 20 psi. I've tested all the wiring and it seems fine. What do I do now!!

Re: '67 Headlight doors

Do you have a wiring diagram to check the wiring of the limit switches at the doors? If not send me a PM with your email address and I'll send you one. The brown wire should go to the closed position limit switches and dark blue to the open position switches. Generally, if the door motors operate, the relays should be wired correctly. The passenger door motor sounds like the problem is the open limit (on the radiator support) is either out of adjustment or not operating to shut the motor off. This condition will also keep the motor from operating to shut the door when the lights are shut off. Check this switch to make sure the door is fully contacting the switch to activate it. If not sure, use a screwdriver to depress the switch to manually activate it and see if that shuts the motor off. When you say the driver side motor is running, is the door moving at all? Maybe a bouncing motion?
