When i turn my headlights on they do not pop up, i'm not sure they are supposed to, but thats not my concern ( the driver's side light will pop up if you hit the headlight switch). My passenger side headlight never pops up, and neither headlights retract. I have switched around all the appropriate relays to try to find the problem. I had just assumed the motor was bad. However last night i noticed that when my headlight switch was pushed in the passenger side headlight doesnt work. While it is kinda cool to be able to blink one light at people, it is completely useless. Has anyone had a similar problem? Is this switch the problem in my system. Before i bought a new switch i figured i would see if this has happened to anyone else

check the wiring, fuse and the motor... you will find your culprit
