Weird thing happened tonight turned off my headlights after coming home and pulled the key. All of a sudden the headlight retractors started to go up and down and wouldn't stop until I pulled fuse. Even after the key was removed. What is causing this. My car looked positively possessed as the headlights were alternately going up and down! Any help appreciated!!!

The 1st three things I'd check are: The headlight retractor relays, which are little black boxes near the lights themselves, the CPU2, which is under the dash near the fuse box by the driver's legs, and the battery cables for corrosion.

Good luck!


(here's a couple pics of the CPU2)

I've had this happen as a result of the factory security system before. No horn, just lights doing their dance. I got it to stop by turning the key on the exterior door handle.

I'd bet money it's the relay housed in the engine compartment in the long box under the front support or the one right under the hood latch. Water gets in there and results in exactly what you describe. Happened to me and took some time to figure it out. Check those for corrosion and clean as needed. Should solve the issue.
