Head lights won't go up (Page 1/1) wilberto JAN 29, 01:17 PM I recently discovered a fix to my head light problem of them not raising and retracting...with the compartment up and NO power to the headlights, manually turn the knob all the way down until you encounter a stiff resistance. Function test with the compartment cover up. This solved my problem and they have worked fine. I guess you would call it "pre-loading" Good Luck!
