Default Headlight question/problem.

Got a headlight question. I have a 1996 TA and when I turn the know for the headlights to go up, they dont move. They only go up on the second time I turn the ****. They work fine, no motor grinding noise. They go down as soon as I turn the **** back.

Its just wierd that they wont go up the first time you turn the ****. Any possibilities?

Mike

They are designed that way. The first click turns on your running lights the amber color side markers.

No, no, I understand that, im not an idiot.

Example of what is happening...
1. I turn the know all the way too the right, two clicks to the position where the headlights pop up. Nothing happens. (I think my running lights light up though)
2. I have to turn it all the way back to the left, and then all the way to the right. Then my headlights pop up.
