1990 240sx driverside headlight wont go down passengerside does. what can i do i pretty sure they both run off the same relay so wouldnt both not go down if there not working. i know the motor still has to work because when i was comming home i turned my headlights off and they both went down now since i turned them on i cant get the driverside to go down.

make sure its not caught on anything, and maybe try manualy turning it's knob.not sure if they're on separate relays or not, my driver side fender is nudged over a wee bit. Some times when i put the lights down, the driver side pops back up and goes back down on it's own.
