First sheck to see that the manual actuator switch isn't pulled down.

You need to reach up fron under the car and tug on the pivot point where the actuator attaches. Sometimes the pivot moves past the center and puts the headlight a locked position. Then you can press on the headlight and it will go down.

When it's down you push against the pivot point to start it up then lift the headlight
