Default 1998 Headlamps

Just bought low mileage 98. Headlamps do not deploy. Manually turn them up ok , but no lights. Checked fuses ...ok. All other lights work perfect. No noise..no nothing. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I would have a serious talk to the guy I bought the car from. Did they work when you bought the car?

Yes they worked when I purchased the car. I can get them to pop up if I move the steering wheel up and down. I think it might be the multi function switch is pooped out. Anyone with any thoughts?

Could also be the headlight "black box" located near (under) the passenger side headlight.

But, if you move the steering wheel and they work, I believe the multi-function switch is more probable.
