The horn relay is not identical to Retract 4. Retract 4 is a 6 pin relay while the horn relay is a special 3 pin relay.
Retract 3 and 4 are the only relays that affect the motors. Retract 4 helps the motor go up, while retract 3 makes it go down. An easy way to test if it's the lighting switch keeping the motor from going up (which is likely as the switches do burn out after so many years):1-Remove the grey Retract 4 relay2-Turn the lighting switch to "on" (low beams)3-Take a test light and check pin 2 for powerSee the arrow pointing to Pin 2? Find it's corresponding plug on the relay base.
If your test light lights up with the lighting switch "on", then you have a good switch that's supplying power to the relay. if not, you isolated the switch as a possible problem part.
You can check Retract 3 in similar fashion.So long as the lighting switch is turned "Off", pin 1 should be hot when you test it with a test light. The headlamp timer is what grounds out this relay to power the motor to go down.
Also, the TCU can be problematic as well. A lot of sleepy eye modifications actually damage the TCU by frying one of the circuit pathways inside the unit. Soldering a new wire in place of the circuit board path can solve the problem.
