Coz, The motor assembly is in the car, and the headlights go up and down just fine when I hook the brown harness wire directly to the wire that was originally attached to the post as pictured rather than through the post spade connector. The other motor wire is connected to the yellow harness wire as before via the male and female spade connectors.

The spade does not make electrical contact with the post since it's sandwiched between the backlite and plastic insulator. The motor wire connector is insulated from the spade connector but does make contact with the post itself through the washers and nut. How can current possibly flow in this configuration? Yet, this is how everything was hooked up before I started the project. That's why I took the picture in the first place, to ensure I put the thing back together correctly.

I plan to go ahead an wire direct if I can't figure out this mystery. At least the headlights operate wired like that.
