Mitsubishi Repair: 1993 3000GT SL, good samaratin, water flood

Question
My 1993 3000GT SL popup headlights won't go down! It happened suddenly. I can turn the lights on and off, there is no drain on the battery.  The fuses under the dash seem fine,  the under-the-hood interior fuse relay in the trapezoid-shaped container was replaced on a return-it-if-it-doesn't-do-the-job basis, and I had to return it because it made no difference with the new replacement in place.  The daytime popped-up open headlights (off)look is pretty pathetic. What should I do? If I take it to the Mitz dealer,  the bill is astronomical and they always try to tell me they will take the car off my hands. No thanks!  I look forward to your response. I love that car.

PS - repair history = several fender benders, drove into a salt-water flood and rescued by fire department,  wheel fell off while driving and "good samaratin" pulled a gun on me, transmission replaced, all gaskets replaced (I think that's what they were), new batteries, alternators replaced, all flood damaged parts replaced, ABS system is sporadically bad and was rumored to have a crack, brakes fail sometimes but I put brake fluid in and its good to go for months), if I put the rear windsheild wiper on it won't go off!   Sometimes the front windshield fogs up so bad I can't see a thing.

But it looks great and I love that car!

Answer
Nancy,
There is a button on your dash (I believe on the left hand side of the steering wheel) that overrides the pop-up light function.  It's called the headlamp pop-up switch.  When engaged, it keeps the pop-up assembly up; regardless if the headlamps are on or not.  Check that first.  It may be that the switch was accidently pushed on, or that the switch has shorted out and constantly stays engaged.  If that needs to be replaced, it's about a $40 part.

If your pop-up switch is not the problem, then there is most likely another electrical problem in your pop-up motor circuitry.  If replacing the relay did not help, there may be a loose connection on the pop-up assembly itself.  You'll want someone to check that circuit.  It's not rocket science to check, and most any mechanic do this quickly.  You definitely do not need a Mitsu delearship mechanic to check this out.

There is a remote possibility both your pop-up motors failed at the same time.  That would be so rare, it almost not even worth mentioning, but it popped into my mind to say.  If you really hate the way it looks in the day, there is a knob next to each headlamp (under the hood) that you can manually turn to bring the headlamps down.  If you cannot even manually bring them down, then go with the seized pop-up assembly theory.  
Good luck!
