more electrical problems....Help!!!
Things began with the passenger window which refuses to roll down.
Next the DIC started autocycling for no reason.
Last week, the fog lights and dashboard lights wouldn't illuminate, but the headlights would.
Today, the headlights popped up when I set the switch to the foglight setting, and the passenger lamp struggled to fully pop-up!!
WTF?!? Any help....Bill Curlee?.....anyone?!?!?!?!

I think you have a low battery, bad multifunction switch and you need to beat on the window down relay!

Not since an overflow from the front drain about 3 years ago. These problems just started.

I can't get the right headlight to raise all of the way. I tried to disconnect the battery in an attempt to reset things, and the servo kept actuating trying to lower it even though it was all-of-the-way down.

Double check the Battery cable connections... That's worth a shot!
Hold your window down button down and slam the door to see if the window moves then. There's a great Thread in here on the DIY relay replacement for the window relays...
I still suspect your headlight multifunction switch...
Does your right headlight move smoothly with the manual ****?

I checked the battery connections to no avail. The right headlight opens with the manual switch if I give some upward pressure on it (you can also hear the motor continuing to lower it after the light is closed).
