1992 SC "Pop Up Headlights" problem

Had the same problem. On one side only - It was a damaged wire harness, chaffed over time by the movement of the headlight assy.

This is BOTH...from what i've found, there's a module inside the Drivers Side Fender. Also, there's a Recall on the 94-95 SC's regarding the Seat Recliner. Any idea if anyones tried getting this fixed on another year (my 92 has a broken driver's side Seat Back).

Lemme know...

The headlight door control module, I've never worked on it, but the manual says it's under the aircleaner. Remove the aircleaner assy. The module is bolted to the left side frame rail, near the front. Two electrical connectors on it. I guess you could try giving it a technical tap with both the override switch in normal, and the headlight switch off, and see if they go down.

"Technical Tap"....is that like with the "official fixer" (aka nice Ball Pean Hammer)?

I'll whack it & let ya know.

You got it! 'The correct amount to effect repair'. 'Any less results in "no Fix", any more results in "Total Destruction", in which case, it needed replacing anyways'

The ball peen hammer tool selection also is part of the 'technical' ability. Depending on the amount of 'technical' required. Often just the handle of a screwdriver will also do.

Uhm....simple "fix" is the fuse, right?

Hadn't driven the car in a couple days...realized the same fuse that runs the taillights, dash lights, etc, also runs the "close" function with the headlight doors.

thanks for the help...
