As the title of the thread states I can't get my passenger side headlight to go down (unless i manually crank it down) and while driving and I turn the high beams on they will randomly shut off then have to flip to the regular beams to keep driving. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix these two issues?

NOTE: any searches I tried kept coming up with unrelated stuff.

Passenger headlight will go up if manually put down but will not go down... Driver side goes up and down no problem.

I'll have to find where the switch is and try testing it if i can. if not that will be added to the list of things needing replaced.

With most electrical troubleshooting, it's worth checking all the grounds in the system. Do you have access to the TEWD for the car? If you understand how to follow diagrams, the answer to your questions is likely found in there. :)

That said, I know enough about wiring and electricity to get myself shocked. :p

Check the head lights plugs. Good grounding is a must...usually the plugs get melted due to bad/loose contact so replace it if needed. Head light motor could be shot. Check motor plug for voltage.
