help! s13 headlamps wont pop-up!?!

[adrianfromthecastle]

my 92 240sx headlamps wont pop up when i flip the switch. the lights go on (cuz i can see through the little crease) but they wont go up? any suggestions? anything i can do for the meantime before ordering replacement parts (i need to drive at night!)? thanks,adrian

just checked... all fuses are fine..

maybe burned out motors? The tips of the arms that rotate to lift the lights up and down are plastic. Perhaps they broke? One of mine is broke and every now and then it slips off of the motor.

Check these...other than that i dont really know much more sorry.

nope, they work. for the mean-time i rotated the knobs to hold the head lights up. but when i turn off the head lights (without the head-light hold button on) the lamps close. so i know the motors work... right? in other words, they go down, just not up.

check relays yet? I believe they are on the passenger side of the engine bay towards the front.

as far as i know, the relays are ok.... wait... how do i check my relays? i know where they are located, but are they like fuses where you just see if everything's in tact?

Search. Chris and myself just went over the whole operation of pop up lights a month ago. Very detailed info.
