Default Headlight issue - intermittent operation

Got caught in a bad downpour a couple of weeks ago and when I tried to put the headlights on, they wouldn't come up. After I got home 40 minutes later they worked. This morning I tried them 5 or 6 times and they came up about 50% of the time. When they do work, both lamps come up. When they don't work, I DO NOT hear the motors trying to work. Almost seems like a short somewhere. :confused: Any ideas???

1ST,make sure that the battery cables are snug :yesnod: The headlamp door module is very sensitive to voltage drop.If that does not fix it,you are looking at either a faulty headlamp module or the switch :cheers:
