Thanks for this information.
I try to find internal wiring for headlights motor but it looks like it's not in the schematic diagram.
I think I will remove one of my headlight motor and see what it looks like inside.

No it is not, was not sure if you were wiring up the headlight motors or fixing one. Kind of a self learning process to fix one of these motors. A friend does this as part of his business. Todd's Restorations – 66-67 Charger restoration

Headlight motor man has been doing motors for many years, Topher McGinnes. I am guessing over 25 years.

Todd does good work but he's not one to divulge in house information.
Mostly because he doesn't want to be blamed for something he didn't do when someone else screws up the job.

Topher is a little more easy going.

I agree with you.
But before I ship my motor to Todd or Topher I will make a visual check, I have a good working motor it will be good a good reference.
I will connect the wiring the way it's supposed to be and see...
Thanks everyone for the help

If you have a working original, go for it! You have a plan in hand.

The headlight motor may seem very intimidating and they can be. This past weekend I decided to try my luck and dive into one. This motor did not work before I took it apart. I took everything apart and sandblasted the housing. I did not take the windings apart just cleaned them and the brushes up. Same with all the plastic gears just cleaned up and greased them. After reassembly the motor works perfectly fine in both directions. Picture shows before and after

Thanks, I thought that was they case, they eventually stick closed and burnt the motors out. Possibly that was their work around for 2 different speed motors on 1 circuit

Tips to improve headlights motor when you rebuilt it.
Under the 2 brushes holder you have a thermal interrupter, the problem is after years the 2 rivets became loose and poor connection happens.
Those rivets overheat and make problems.
Rivets remove and new hardware installed.
