headlights stuck up

My headlights are stuck up and im 99% sure its a short in the system because i have put two fuses in it and they both have blown as well. Do my discount autoparts fuses suck? are there any places that wires can get exposed more frequently then others?

thanks guys

relays

If your headlights are stuck up, the first place to check is the RETRA Relay, located in the black box at the front of the engine bay (just to the left of the Intercooler). Pull that relay out and try swapping it with another one first; if that doesn't work, take a voltmeter and hold it across the upper two pins. Then, hit the headlight-retract/pop-up button to the left of the steering wheel. If the voltage goes from 12-0-12, your wiring is fine (up to that point) and there's a problem in the motor assembly. If not, you get to trace the short.

TX I have the same problem

On my FC the light will go down if I do it manually but as soon as I connect the battery they go up on their own. I have check the switch by the headlights, the motor, and stuff in between is there anything that I missed? Also, I took a headlight motor off my parts car and it does the same thing my headlight motor is doing when I manually put them down. Anything would be helpful.
