Hello Herb,
     I have had a problem such as this.  Water had leaked down from the
winshield and corroded a grounding point for the headlights.  On an '86
there are two grounding clusters behind and above the fuse block.  The head
lights on my '86 used two wires on a single connector.  The heavy load and
bad connection burned up the connector.  I replaced the single connector
with two seperate connectors.  I hope this info helps.
