Default Headlight motor

Is there a fuse or a circuit breaker for the passenger side headlight motor somewhere? Mine quit functioning and (headlight works though) I am trying to diagnos it.

No, no noise at all. No movement or sound whatsoever.

On the driver side right? Is there a schematic for the fuses like the fuse box to the left of the dash, or do I just have to go through and check them all?

Thanks

Check your physical connections also. Mine were corroded and had to be replace or you could just splice and solder them together and delete the connector plug all together.

There are labels on the 2 fuse boxes on the driver's side, on the top of each box.
