~~HELP! No headlights ~~ Well my fiance was headed to town and he went to turn n the headlights and they arent working at all. The dash lights come on, and all the side markers come on. But the headlights wont pop-ip and come on. He said that he checked all the fuses and replaced all the ones that were dingy looking just to be on the safe side. So far nothing. He works nights so this will leave us with only one car, and I work 45 minutes in the other direction so he is asking friends for a ride till He car figure this out. All imput would be great. Please please help!!!!

You pull the round rubber boots with the long nipple on them, off. Then crank them up. Pop the hood and you'll see them. Just rotate them until the lights are all the way up. Then you will be able to turn them on and off normally.

the lights wont even come on at all. If they turned on i would gladly turn them up manually and leave them up. I will check everything again tomorrow. Being sick I may have missed something.
Thanks again

My sister-in-law's Isuzu SUV did that to her once, the headlights just quit working one day. Found there was a headlight relay under the hood that was shot. $20 for a relay that wasn't even stocked in store, so I took the relay apart and fixed it 
Not sure if these cars have anything like that or not but it is worth checking!

a scan tool isnt really gonna tell you anything--lights going out won't be saved in the PCM--like Joshie said
relay, fuses
switch
module
bad wire
testing a relay isnt hard, just connect the coils of the relay (which i think would be pins 86 and 87 i believe) to a power source-an you should hear it click--or do a continuity check across the coils with a multimeter-if the relay checks out then check your switch-an just go from there

Pretty much the same problem, anything? My headlights will pop up, brights will work, and fogs/DRL will work. Low beams don't work!! Before, every once in a while I would hear a crackling and the low-beams would shut off and the crackling would stop and a few seconds later the low-beams would turn on. I had no headlights all last night and drove around with my fogs! What gives?

There is a 50A headlight fuse in one of the fuse boxes. It is a large clear red plastic one. Try replacing that. I found if I pulled that the headlights would not pop up or turn on but everything else would work.
Still have the problem! No low beams!

If you have no low beams then this might apply to you. Mine did the same. The connector had crud in it and wasnt making the connection. Everytime you squeezed the connector tightly it would kick them back on.
Just my .02
