head light problem

[Chase Walker]

for the past couple of weeks, my passenger side headlight will not go up or down, the motor is fine and the fuses arent blown. and when your hit the unlock or lock button the driveers side headlight goes up and then right back down. Does anyone know where the problem might be?

Re: head light problem

I had something similar happen. Whenever I hit the keyless entry, one headlight would act funny, come up, then go down. I found out that it was the headlight "transmission". Basically, where the knob is to manually flip it up or down. I replaced that unit and it's been fine ever since. Just sounded similar. Hope this helps.

The "knob" is part of the motor. Take a look at the Headlight control module. Thats what tells the lights to go up and down.

Re: head light problem

would the headlight control module just need replaced? or is it a fuse or something else?

Re: head light problem

You could check the fuse's first by it will most likely need to be replaced.

Where the red arrow is pointing. Right next to the fuse box.
