Headlight Retracting

[Neejay]

What would cause one headlight not to go back down? My headlights go up and cut on, but when I cut them off, my driver side stays up. The button on the left of the steering wheel makes them go up, and once again the passenger goes down and the driver side stays up.

Ive searched and searched, but if it was the headlight motor, I would think that it wouldnt ever work right? I even tried that cutting the headlights off and disconnecting the negative terminal, then making them go up or down and reconnectting the negative terminal...didnt work.

My original assumption was that something may have been blocking it from going down, but I can manually make it go down...so...any ideas?

try swapping the relays under the intake tube for the motors see if swaping them makes it oppisite [where the other one goes down instead] you may just need a relay.

Already tried that. I switched all three around.

since it goes up It seems more like its not getting the ground signal to retract. I do not have the schematics for your year car handy,do you. If so post them up and I will tell you were to give the circuit a ground and see if at least part of the circuit works properly.

Would rust contribute to not getting a good grounding? My car sat for about 5-6 months before I bought it....

yeah rust could but I dont think that short of time could of done much harm to a previously good working part

I'll check it out tomorrow...I hope thats all it is
