You are gonna have to be a lot more specific.

Ok here is a run down on how the headlights work.

The knob thing has 3 positions. 1) Off, 2) Parking lights 3)On and high beam if you pull it or push it. Then you also have the button that flips the lights up and down if the lights arent on.

Ok so we'll start with pressing the buttons with the lights off (or in position 1), the headlights go up but not on, then you press the button again and they go down.

This should be the same if your lights are in position 2.

Now back to position one and headlights down, twist the knob to position 2, and your front signals turn on, and your tails turn on, and you interior lights turn on.

Now on to position 3. You headlights should pop up and they should turn on, along with all of what happened in position 2.

If you press the button nothing should happen.

If you pull the high beam now your high beams should go on.

If you turn from position 3 to position 2. Your headlights should not go down but turn off. And all the other lights should be on.

Now if you press the button they should go down. And up if you press it again.

Now if you go from position 3 to 2 to 1 without pressing the headlight button then the headlights should go down upon going to position 1.

Now if you are in position 1and you pull your high beams your headlights should pop up and turn on as long you are still holding the button or you pushed it into the permanent position.

When you turn off your high beams it shouldnt go down (not 100% sure on that part) until you press the button.

Now if you understand all that and are using it correctly then your next choice is your fuse.

Fuse 5a is for the headlamp motors. W/o it your headlamps will not go up or down but just turn on regardless of thier location. If you look in my sig my headlights are not all the way up but on, thats cuz i pulled fuse 5A in the kick panel and turned em on. However you turn on your high beams they go up. But they won't go back down.

If none of that helps you out please explain exactly what you are doing in more than a sentence.
