are there any fuses for the head lamp motors for the fifth gen celicas?

a screw driver i left when i was adjusting the lamps jammed the lamp shut when i wanted to open it...now it doesn't move.

Can you rotate manual knob and see if it jumps back to life?

The manual knob is located underneath each light, behind the bumper. If you reach up in there, you'll find a rubber cap (or possibly not, if it has fallen off....) the rubber cap pulls off to reveal the actual knob. Turning this by hand raises and lowers the light (one side at a time). It's a pain, though, so I'd guess, if folks' light motors stop working, just leave the lights cranked up all the time until fixed......probably hurts gas mpg, though, with those big ol "bricks" sitting upright in the airflow

There is a fuse for the retractor motor. It's located in the engine bay, next to the battery.
