Does the headlight make noise when it fails to pop up? If so, it might well be that the plastic gear is stripped. If you do a search of the forum, there is a bunch of information.

The multifunction switch is probably worn out. They are easy to replace and last I looked (a while), they were about $122. If you are playing with it and they come up, you found the problem yourself.

Might be headlight door control module. Had to replace mine on an 01' Vert.

Default thank you

I noticed today it is working fine prior to this the car set up in the garage because of the winter so we finally had a nice spring day and I washed and waxed it that is when the problem started but I am going to replace the module because it happens at the strangest unopportuned times(like driving at night in chicago with no lights in my neighborhood is asking for trouble)
