Headlights stuck up?

-87 Accord lx
I was driving the other day and i noticed that when i turned my car off and the headlights off that they both stayed up. The switch in the car that flips up the headlights isn't on either. The headlights still turn on and off, just not down.

I'm thinking its electrical because both motors wouldn't fail at the same time. Maybe a fuse? Or bad wire?

check the fuses.. if its not that its most likely the switch... mine was bad when i got my car i switched it out and they work fine now

If they're stuck up, ridicule them. That will bring them down a peg or two.

Where is the switch? The one on my dash?

the switch may be faulty. thats the usual case for this problem. pull it out and make sure its plugged in properly (the headlight up down switch that is.

Theres a relay box that drives them both. Scary but I think it evens says headlights on it. Its under the dash I think driverside.

yes the dash switch... its the cause of the problem 85% of the time
