My Headlights wont go down, and its not in the switch. My brights also wont work. All this happened when a complete idiot hooked the battery cables up backwards for like 1/2 of a second. it didnt blow any fuses(at least none in the interior fuse block or the one on the left side of the engine) and the motors still work, cause when i start to put them down manually with the fuse still in they go down automatically, and then comne right back up, if i pull the main fuse, they stay down, as soon as i put it back in they come back up. Does any one have any ideas of what i should do? i thought it might have been in the headlight controls but its not. thanks

The first thing you need to do is string the guy that messed up the jumpers with a rope. Second, I would check the wiring to the switch. Mine messed up but MAKE SURE that you get your hand out of there quickly. The last time I was playing down there the damn lights cut my finger nail for me; I got damn lucky that time. If that isn't your fix, see if your lights work when the car is turned off. If not the next step is new cables and a new battery(ALWAYS get both at the same time!!!!). And make sure it is a top of the line (HEAVY) battery and make sure that you don't let any dumbass touch it. If this doesn't work than trace the wires from your lights to the grounder and back to battery terminal output. This is probably the simplest electronic system on the car. Well good luck.
