My healights seem to have a mind of their own!

When I turn on the headlights, the pop-up then close repeatedly!

I have to play with the knob several times (pushing/pulling) to get them to stay either completely open, or completely closed.

Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?

Thanks!

I think you may have a relay problem, take the black plastic cover off were the relay plugs in and pop it out, clean the pins and replace it. I have one headlight that will refuse to pop up until I wiggle the relay. Worth a try

Yes. What Neal said. It sounds like you have some weak relays that are not pulling in all the way. Easy fix. Your fuse panel has relays on the back side of it that you can use for testing. You also have relays on the relay board behind the driver in the passenger compartment.
