    Is It Possible...

    I have been having a headlight issue with my accord for over a year now. The headlights go up and down up and down. I replaced the relays, the headlight controller module, and the combination switch asy. The other day I was playing with it and noriced something. If I pull the passenger side fuse my drivers side headlight works perfectly. When I put the passengers side fuse back in they both go crazy. If I remover the drivers side fuse the passenger side still goes nuts. I am wondering if it is possible that the motor has a short in it and it is causing both to go nuts? I have checked the wiring and everything checks out. I NEED HELP.

    you have a short in the plugs that pop into the headlights....one or both!
    the wiring might be exposed. i found this out the hard way with my car and the fuckin wires fused together.
    i had to run a toggle switch off the batery to get them to work. check that first.............

    I already checked the wiring. The wires were all intact with no wire showing. I broke out my volt meter and it also showed no breaks or shorts in my wiring. I will check where the wires enter the motors but I think I may have checked that before. I don't know. I am just SOOOOOO tired of my pop ups not working.

    Unplug the motor on the passenger side while the fuse is still in place. If that stops the issue, your motor might be toast.
