I have an 01 trans am WS6, my right headlight was working occasionally and now it doesnt come up at all, no grinding before it stopped working, could it be the relay? if so where is this relay located?

i might be wrong... but im pretty sure your relays are in a fuse box in the engine compartment.... im assuming the drivers side.1994 formula A4 w/ 84,XXX MI, bone stock except MSD wires and NGK TR5 plugs -
You have fuses and relays in the underhood conveneience center. That's a fancy word for fusebox. There should be a plastic wingnut on top to remove the cover. You will have two fuses and two relays, one for each headlight actuator.

I don't know about the LS1 cars, but on the LT1's, there is a headlight control module mounted right behind the driver's side headlight. There are no servicable components.
Are you sure its the relay, and not a faulty gear in the headlight motor? That is a very common problem.Fred

i looked at the fuses in the fusebox for the RHL and LHL and they were both fine. im not sure if theres another set of fuses im supposed to look at? and the fusebox didnt have a wingnut on it. and in the ls1 the HL motor is mounted right behind the headlight with a place to where u can turn it manually and have the headlight come up and down. but there was no noise of grinding or anything before it stopped working. and before it completly stopped it would work occasionally, about every third or fourth time i would turn the lights on then off then back on.2001 Trans Am WS6 6spd.

The gears can cause strange problems, that are not all related to "grinding". Brent Franker has a list of many of the headlight symptoms on his website, where he sells brass replacement gears:
http://www.bfranker.badz28.com/headlightfix/index.htm
Read all the way to the bottom of the page, where he details 7 different problems.
Also, you didn't specifically respond to the headlight control module. Its not a motor..... its a sealed box of electronics, about 4"x4"X3", with several large clumps of wires going in and out, and controls both the left and right headlight motors.Fred
