directional lights, headlight.... :(

Lets see if any of you can solve this dilemma. First, my passenger side headlight won't go up. The light works. When i disconnect the wiring to the motor, i can manually put it up. and when i connect the wiring to the motor (and the lights are off), it goes down. so, can only go down electronically. so, by knowing this, the headlight motor is fine. so there must be a wire somewhere that controls the headlight going up that doesn't work. But where and which wire is it? Also, when i have my headlights on the directionals blink VERY VERY slowly. like blink every 12 seconds. but when my headlights are off, they blink at the normal rate. also, the blinker on my driver's side blinks, but it doens't glow orange when i have the headlights are up , like it should. ANY help will be appreciated.

Check the relays for the headlight motors. Swap the left and right to see if anything changes. Make sure there is power to the motor.

What is your voltage at? Low voltage and high current draw will cause the turn signals to flash slowly, also make sure the flasher is good, that may slow it down.

Hope this helps
