Since niether is working Id first check connections, then suspect the module.

When the lamp is closing, look at the housing. It may be hitting the hood which would prevent the lamp from closing.
This was the problem I was having with both lamps. I aligned covrs and all is well.

When the headlight switch is pushed into the closed position nothing happens. I am thinking one of the three relays that controls the motors is bad.
