Stay-Up headlight problem please help!
One of my headlights blew the other day and took the fuse with it. When I replaced the fuse, the headlight worked fine but they stayed in the up position. I lowered them manually, then hit the switch and they popped up, but don't go back down. Now when I remove the key I hear a chime like I left the lights on, even if they're off. Any suggestions? Headlight module maybe? TIA!!!!!!

The installation is about an 8 hour job and involves starting with removing the console to get to the fasteners holding the other parts of the dash cover in place. You'll need a special steering wheel puller and probably ought to get two sets of the pulling hooks since they can break if the steering wheel is really tight (don't ask). Handle the air bag carefully. The actual lever replacement takes all of 15 minutes at the most.
