Headlight problem

My passenger headlight is out, but it's not the bulb. I put new ones in, but the light is still out. When I turn flip the lights up, the light is on for a second, but when the light reaches the full up position it goes off. I stumped as to what the problem is. Anyone have any ideas?

When it's up, try both the high and low beams to see if there is a difference. Other than that, it's most likely what AdAm87TuRbO2 mentioned above.

Wiggle the wires when the headlight is up. You might want to deactivate the retractors if you put your hand in the way of the mechanism.

You might also have a loose wire somewhere. Just try jigling wires around and see if something works.
