Lights stuck up! FD
 
It seems my headlights don't seem to want to return to the down position, You can wind them back manualy and they will pop back up when you turn the lights on, but won't return themselves when switched off.

Any help appreciated.

If I can remember correctly, there are four relays behind the passenger light attached to a bracket on the wheel well. One of those, is stuck or bad. These go bad constantly because people move them to try to hide them and cause water to corrode to contacts. I believe you can buy a certain type of universal relay from advanced auto that will fit. Thats what I think it is because they are both controlled by a relay. Hope it works.

the coolant fan relays???? sorry to say i dont remember them controling any function of the pop ups...

Damn, I think this happened to me but it was during the last century...I'd say the relay is stuck or the switch is shorted.

Yeah the relay is under the air guide at the front of the engine. Its the second fron the left, could anyone have a look and tell me how many of the holes on the connector have pins in, from the manual it looks like 5 should be connected but mine only has 4?

Cheers in advance.
