Default Driver's Side Headlight won't close

Hi Guys,

For some reason, my drivers side headlight just won't go down. When I turn the lights off, the passenger side goes down fine, but the driver's side doesn't move at all. My fogs are also not working. When I turn the fog switch on, the little orange light turns on indicating the fogs are on, but the fogs never light up. Help me out.

Thanks

Check Ken Fletcher's newsletter, I thought I saw a recall or service bulletin on that.

There is a dealer service bulletin on this problem. I had mine fixed a few months ago. Details are in Ken's newsletter referenced above. You can manually close it by turning a **** under the hood - see owners manual for details.
