Headlight not flipping down!!

Since I bought my car, the passenger side headlight will not flip down. So yesterday I replaced the motor assy with relay and all. Same thing happens, it flips up just fine but only the passenger side does not want to flip down..Any ideas what could be causing this??Thanks again for any info..

I had the same problem with mine. Check your ground wire mine was corroded, that that was the problem , it would come up but not go down.Just to make sure this is a easy test to make sure your motor isnt bad. First with your hood open take the rubber cap off the top of the headlight motor and turn it manually, once you get to a certain point it will kick in and complete a cycle, it will go down and back up. Goodluck!

Look in the FAQ section, and you will find an online repair manual. In that manual is a step by step troubleshooting guide that is very helpful. Its like "if the headlights do this, but don't do that, then check this right here". Works like a charm. Good luck!
