Head light buckets won't go down.
Went out with SBKIM and Tattooed last night, weather dropped about 40 degrees after raining and now my head lights (2001 Coupe) won't return to the rest position? Any suggestions about frozen parts or guides? Or do I get to see my friendly dealer again?

Had the same problem with my 98 a few years back. The relay that controls the buckets is in front of the passenger side bucket. Seems mine had a small crack in the relay and water got in there, shorted it out. Check that first...

C54DAN has a good point :yesnod: I have seen a few headlamp control modules fill up with water,shorting them out.A telltale sign is a nasty electrical odor from under the right side headlamp assembly (let the smoke out)
You have a faulty module or upstream,because after the module the headlamps are on seperate circuits
