my car is without a relay box and my fuse panel may be a little jacked up, so I will be replacing it. I am checking my lights using a battery charger which seems to be putting out about 9.2 volts.

I've pulled my headlight motors cause i will be running my car with lights UP all the time.

when I pull my headlight switch out, I get tail lights, front amber and front side amber, but no head lights.

I was wondering if the power to the headlight motors in part of the ciurcuit to make the head lights function?

when I pull my emergency light switch, I hear a buzz in its flasher, maybe its flasher is no good.

i turned ignition key and did see my wipers work, but real slow, i'm guessing 9 volts is not quite cutting it.

yeah, i am missing a few fuses, got a big pack on oprder from an ebay seller.

Dumb question, but: Are you pulling the switch out all the way? It has two positions, with the first being parking-lights-only and the second being all lights, which should raise the headlights.

Other than that, the motors themselves act as headlight switches. At the ends of their travel, the same switches that stop the motor rotation connect power to the lights. If the motors are removed, this whole circuit needs to be bypassed, but is contained in the motor casing itself, so just plugging the power wire into the headlamp should make it work properly.
