headlight problem

on my 1993 240 FB my left projector will not go down. Only the right one will. The wire is connected on both headlights and the fuse is not blown in the fuse box(located behind the battery). I was wondering if i should check the fuse box to the left of the clutch, one fuse is missing, i dont know if it is supposed to or not), or is the motor for the projector not working. And is this a common problem?

Thanks

if you want to put them down manually, there is a cap on top of the headlight motor. if you remove that and turn the knob, you can bring it down until you put them up again.

The Light Arms are solenoid acuatited so check them for wear or damage..

aswell unplug and the replug the pigtail coming from the light motor.
Then, make sure your ground and the RELAY for Driver HL is set.
Pop it out and back in. This will remove any intermittant short.

It sounds like a solenoid problem. Does it do the same thing when you push the headlight pop up switch on the dash? If so it is almost certainly the solenoid.
