Headlights won't pop up...

[cole d]

Did any of you guys get your problems resolved my headlight won't pop up or down. They come on just fine though I've read through everything and tested almost everything with no luck. Please help

The difference in operation between the 3 modes of opening is the time control unit recieves a signal on terminal 3 when turning the headlights from parking lights to headloghts[the point at which the motors are suppose to operate to up] In the other 2 choices it does not send a signal to that terminal. BUT that circuit also uses its own fuse. so you need to look at the fuse too. Note though that fuse supposedly also powers your marker and tail lights. Still check to make sure the 3rd fuse up on the right side of your fuse box in the drivers kick panel has power on both sides when the switch is turned on. It is a 15 amp fuse. If it does go to the time control unit and do the same test on terminal #3 with the switch turned to the on position. The timer is located in the drivers kick panel, and its black not the colors I mentioned before. When you pull the kick panel trim off you will see 2 controllers one white and one black. the one further in is black, that is the unit your after.

Alright guys I'm at this step and I don't have power to the right side of the fuse located in the driver kick panel any suggestions ?????

its your headlight switch (the one that comes off the steering column)

I had the same problem and ordered a new one from advanced auto and it works fine now . . .

Im currently following this thread as well. My headlights will flip up when the button is pushed or when the brights are flashed but not when I just turn the headlights on. They will not go down my pushing the switch either. I have done everything almost. I have power at the fuse and at the red-blue wire at the timer. I dont have power on the orange wire at the timer nor at terminal 26 at the switch. When I backprobe the orange wires at the diode one has like 0.18V and the other has zero. I have not had a chance to check at the h/l retract 4 relay because its raining outside and I dont want to get shocked. Whats next?

Ok when I checked the orange wire at h/l retract 4 I had the same 0V with the h/l off and 0.18V when the headlights are on. The Purple wire had 12V at it. I have no idea what or where to go from here. Please help!

while yours wont pop up, mine wont go down. i was messing with my radio one day trying to get some tweeters connected when i saw a cable hanging there. it unfortunately touched metal and, well you know what happened. i traced that cable back to where its origins where, and to my surprise, it was an old alarm system the car used to have. if anyone has any suggestions as to how to get the lights down, or what to do with that alarm box thingy, i would appreciate it.

Each motor has a knob you can turn to raise or lower the lights

my drivers headlight will not come up, but if i crank it up, it will go down, and the passenger one works just fine. which relay could it be?
