Default Headlights Wont Go Down

My Headlights Wont Go Back Down On My S13, What Fuse Or Relay Should I Check. I Looked At The Fuse Box Under The Dash And All Were Good. I Guess Its Good They Are Stuck Up And Not Down But It Is Still Annoying. Any Help Is Appreciated

COuld be that the motors went, best bet is to just use the manual knob located near the healights to get them down. then get a multimeter and start checking where it stops getting voltage.

More than likely your headlight switch went out.

Japanese headlight motors will rarely fail. If you manually put them back down, turn them on, and they pop back up, then the switch on your steering column is bad.

Trust me, I'm pretty damn good with electronics and I traced everything when mine did this years ago. I replaced the lever and it was fixed.

Good luck,
Matt

Discount Auto carries the switch and its pretty cheap from what I remember, mine had the same problem about a year ago.

It's the switch on the steering column. Just grab one at a junkyard or find someone who's parting out an s13.

Are you sure the hazard light button isnt depressed?

Top button left hand side of the gauge cluster.

This will raise your headlights without turning them on, and will not allow them to go back down until depressed.
