2004 headlight problems
Well this question is for you smart people, a 2004 headlights won't turn on or come up. passing light works, I have read several threads about this, but everything pointed at the gears. Fuses and relays are good, any feedback ?

It would be one hell of a coincidence if the teeth on both gear wheels failed at the same time. Can you hear the motors turning at all ?

If neither will turn on or come up, nothing that they might come on, but not come up...and if you checked all the fuses in both fuse compartments, then the cause is usually the headlamp or multifunction switch.

Check the headlight control module. It's in the passenger side headlight area. Take off the black bezel and you will see it.

The headlamp control module only runs the headlamp motors. It does not turn on the headlamps themselves.
