Default Headlights randomly popping up?

Twice now have my headlights randomly popped up. They went back down as soon as they came up. Once it happened after I washed my car, and the other time after my battery had been unplugged for a few hours. It's never happened before (about a month ago in the same weekend) and it hasn't happened since. I wasn't standing near my car when it happened. WTF would do that? The only thing I can think of is the light switch... now, I'll admit, I did pull it out to tap into the gray wire for my AutoMeter gauges, but nothing else! So I don't see that causing it.

Check the connection from the motor harness to the body harness. I found both of the gray connectors (1 for each headlamp) had corroded inside and needed replacement. I tried to save them but it was too late.

It could also be your headlamp control module or one of your motors themselves shorting out. If you can, grab a buddy and test the control module with a multi-meter. It is located near the driver side head light IFRC. If that is ok, just make sure all your connections are clean and tight.

Sweet, thanks! I'll have to look into that. The exorcist too if that doesn't work.
