newb needs some help
well first of all let me say this is the first car i bought and also one ive wanted since i started walking. but with that being said ive ran into a few problems over the last day.
it started with my trunk not pulling down then i relized the head rest lamb wasnt coming on. now i noticed the power locks arnt working. keep in mind ive also had problems with my head lights coming off and on randomly. and when i say turning off i mean the interrior lights and brights indicator work just not the head lights.
any idea if this may be caused by a fuse or somthing small?
help would be greatly appreciated

Sounds like a bunch of problems. Has the car been previously butchered? Start by checking the battery ground for the headlights. Pull down motors commonly go bad.

Check grounds for the headlights. That could be the issue. It could also be the contacts inside the high/ low beam switch.
The hatch pull down motor goes bad, and is probably the issue with yours. Ya need a new one. Simple as that. Or you could just adjust it down and use it like a regular trunk latch, but I don't reccomend this.
