Well I own a 1989 240sx and the headlights will not go down . You can manually put them down ,and you can make them go up by either switching on the headlights by using the switch on the steering column. You can also make them go up by pressing the switch on the left hand side of the dash. They will not go down by either turning off the headlight switch on the steering column or by pressing the switch on the left side of the dash. I checked the fuses (which were good) and I replaced the relays ,and still no go . Any Ideas??? Anybody know how to check a relay to see if it is bad or good ? Those that I replaced were removed from a junkyard car .
