Headlights won't pop up
I am having an electrical issue. Both headlights willnot pop up. They turn on but do not pop up. Also, the dash and center console lights go out when I turn the headlights on.
I thought the problem might be in the headlight multi switch so I replaced it but that did not solve the problem. Anyone have any ideas of what else to check?

Ok had some time to look at it last night.
My headlights still won't pop up. I also noticed I do not have any rear lights (but I do have break lights) and no parking lamps (but Turn signals do work).
Does the module inside the bumper control these items? I am really at a loss on this one. Might be time for me to invest in a set of service manuals.

From your last post I couldn't figure out if you checked your battery connections, or not, per 1bernie1's suggestion. It sounds too easy a fix at first, I know. But I found a loose battery connection to be the problem when my lights would turn on but not pop up.

But I found a loose battery connection to be the problem when my lights would turn on but not pop up. I checked the voltage on the battery and I have 13.8 volts. I will double check the connections tonight.
Did you guys with the battery problems have any other problems (like the dash lights and no drl's too?) or only a problem with the headlights popping up?
