Headlight motors not getting power?

Headlight motors not getting power?
My driver side headlight worked fine and my passenger headlight would not come up or down sometimes, but the motors still spun. After buying the kit to replace the pieces that turn to dust(mine were) and putting everything back together neither motor seems to be getting any power, but the lights turn on. Is this a common problem and if so what may be causing it? I can't see it being the module as everything worked fine previously. Either way I'm in no rush as I can just manually lift the headlights and they work fine.
[Update] Positive wire(red wire?) is getting power to the motors, but the ground wire(green wire?) seems to not be getting powered? I assume this would be the cause. Is there an easy to understand diagram anywhere that could show me where the ground wire goes to for the headlight motor? I found another post that shows the headlight wiring diagrams, but I couldn't understand it.

Re: Headlight motors not getting power?
Anyone have a picture of the headlight motor module on the car so I can understand where it is? I found older posts of the same issue, but all the links are outdated/missing. Also, I can't seem to find locations anywhere on the car with simple searches. Just find what the module looks like, but this doesnt help me if I cant find it. Currently all I know is against the firewall and it potentially says "guide" however it has been 30 years, so I won't be surprised if it no longer says guide.
