So i’ve looked though the forum and i’ve seen answers for this before, the one answered i thought that would save me is the “retra relay” that’s located behind the front bumper, But the slot used for that relay has no pins?!? like there’s nothing going to it, and the plug in from the tns has a different block off than the retra aren’t they supposed to be the same???(i circled the difference)i know my headlights can pop up and down as they’ve done it once before while i was trying to see what was wrong. I’m just really confused and would really appreciate some help. THANK YOU !!!

They can pop up with either turning on the headlight or pressing the manual up/down button on the dash. Does one or the other work or neither?

That empty relay slot is fine. If they worked in the past that is normal for there to be nothing in there.

The relay retra is located under the dash by the steering
I have had a couple of them fail. I would start looking there

Neither work as of right now, the car used to have sleeks but i put on the pop ups

Yea i saw that under the dash but i wasn’t sure if that was the problem, is there a way to confirm it is the problem? Or am i better off just getting a new one

its a pretty simple circuit and comes apart fairly easily. Give it a shot and check for anything obvious

I’ll give that a try then, thank you!

Alright so a little update, i’ve looked through the wiring diagram and i’m metering for power everywhere it should be. Theres only the constant 12v going to the motors but nothing for the other wires that control it going up and down. so according to the wiring diagram the headlight retractor switch controls the power, so i go in and jumper from power to the up and down positions for the headlights and they work properly, does this mean my switch is stuck in between and not giving proper power? Cause from what i can see power goes from the switch to the relay so wouldn’t that mean my switch is bad? But idk i’ve never heard of someone’s switch breaking.

But i also thought the headlights automatically come up when the lights cut on, and that you could control your pop ups even when the lights were off as well. But there’s no power going to the switch when the lights are off, and i still have to jumper from the switch to get them to pop up even when the lights are already on
