my lights dont pop up??

I just got done doing some stuff to my motor, but nothing even touched or had anything to do with the lights. Now my lights dont pop up when I turn em on. The lights themselves turn on, just dont flip up?? WTF?? And I've checked all my fuses and relays, looks good there...

I don't want to insult your intelligence, but how do you know the lights turn on if the headlights don't flip up?

Did you check the headlight pop up/down button? It's on the left side of the console. You can use this button to pop the lights up and down without actually using the headlight switch, except the lights don't switch on. I use this button when I wash the car and want to clean the headlamp lenses. Anyway sometimes this button gets "confused" if you press the button, and then try to turn on the headlights...they start to cancel each other out, and the lights don't turn, eventhough the headlights are up.

Did you check the fuses under the dash and under the hood? There are two sets of fuses under the hood I think (not sure).

Also, any sound from the headlight when you turned them on? Did anyone lean on the head lights when fixing the car? I hope the mechanism isn't damaged. Use the manual crank to see if the mechanism is okay. Becareful when you work on the lights. They can crush your hands if they suddenly pop up and close downward.... Disconnect the battery!!!

I know the lights are one because I can see light coming out of them....sheesh Also, I checked the little button too, and all of my fuses are good, underhood and underdash, also the mechanism is good becuase I can still manually turn em up.
