SOURCE: how to chang headlight lift motors on 1993 Mercury
This applies to all 1991 to 1994 Capri
1. Raise headlamps to the normal operating position and open hood.
2. Remove the windshield washer reservoir or coolant reservoir, depending on which headlamp
assembly requires servicing.
3. Remove bezel and headlamp. Route wiring away from headlamp assembly.
4. Remove four screws and cover from headlamp assembly.
5. Remove four bolts retaining headlamp assembly to body.
6. Unplug connector from motor and remove headlamp assembly.
7. Remove nut retaining linkage to motor.
8. Remove three retaining bolts and motor.
If you have another motor, you can install it now and assemble in the reverse order. Make sure that when you put the linkage back on that it has the headlight in the raised position like before.
Your motor may not be bad just because it doesn't come up. If you take the 5 or so screws off the motor assembly, you'll see were some copper wipers make contact to a circular gear. Where they make contact could simply be dirty. Clean the gear with light sandpaper to get the copper on the gear shiny, then put it back together. You can test the motor now by plugging it back in and operate the headlights...it may just work correctly...

You have the wrong pulley on the alternator. Aftermarket replacement Capri alternators use a pulley that fits their smaller shaft, and its really the wrong one for the Capri (this is a VERY common Capri problem)...using an industrial type belt will help, but you really need a OEM type alternator/pulley back in there...good luck...Chris
