Headlight switch defective? Confirm?

[Ninjabread]

My headlights dont go up when you turn on the lights, only way to make them go up is using the push button. They also don't go down on their own when you turn the lights off, and pushing the headlight button doesn't make them go down either.

Did some research and came up with the fact that my headlight switch is probably shot. Just wanna confirm before I go to the dealership to buy a new one.

Those h/l ret con relays have anything to do with that? I have no clue how to test them.

Any help is appreciated!

check fuses, wiring and relays. there are several relays that are the same in your car. pull a known good relay which is the same as suspected bad relay and if works then the relay you just pulled is bad. if it doesn't work then it's something else. but I would check the simple things first just like a fuses.

the switch is the best bet to try. the network of relays is like a computer program. ive never seen anyone figure it out.
