I had this happen to my pass. side a while back and after doing a search all I did was yank on the harness leading to the light once and the thing popped right up and has not given me any probs. for nearly a year.

untill you fix it you know you can manually get them up and down. Takes all of 30 seconds.

tks for the help

Harness was loose. Gave me a great opportunity to go around unplugging, contact cleaning, and replugging nearly everything.

Damn some of those fuses are huge!

Yeah, the connection on the "retractable headlamp" relay was dirty. Sprayed a little WD40 on the contacts, and voila, the headlights pop up again WITHOUT having to pop them up manually engaging the headlight pop-up button
