Default Head Lights

Wen't to go to work this morning and the headlights were up and won't retract.

I have to manually put them up and down.

I do not think both headlight motors would go bad at the same time.

Does anyone have an answer for this ?

It might be a short. Take it to the dealer

RedHot, as an aside, did your headlamps rub against the hood (in the up position obviously) as you raised each headlamp? I haven't tried raising the lamps up with the hood open...doesn't look like there's much clearance.

They raised on their own over night and now they don't move when I turn on the lights.

No they don't rub at all and I was thinking it must be electrical like a fuse or something and the fuses are good.

I was hoping someone here has been through this.

Thanks
