You have a vacum problem with your lights. If the hoses haven't been replaced you need to buy a kit and replace them. You also probably need to replace the seals on the actuators, which usually comes with the hose kit. Mine did the same thing and my seals were so bad I didn't understand how they worked at all! A couple hours of work if you've never done it before. Larry

For a vendor that has the parts you need check the online catalogs of some of the supporting vendors. I use Ecklers for most of the parts I used on mine also Zip.

The factory alarm on a '81 is turned on by locking all the doors, and turned off by unlocking the door with the key. If your is different then you are dealing with an aftermarket alarm. You should be able to get replacement parts for these at the major corvette vendors. Also if they aren't working they could just need cleaned/adjusted.

Here's a vacuum troubleshooting guide:

That will help you find out where the vacuum is, you may not have to replace everything. Since it's only one headlight with trouble it's like in the hose leading to the actuator or the actuator itself. When they won't stay down and the troubleshooting points to the actuator itself, it's the diaphragm inside the actuator, which usually means replacement time, about $100.

Time to get a handheld vacuum pump, if you don't already have one.

There is some problem whit my Fuel Gauge, the needle is always jumping up and down, shudder up and down. does anybody know what is wrong.. It is also in Speedmeter always jumping up and down....

stickboy

If the fuel gauge smoothly goes up and down about a 1/4 tank this is normal. If it seems to jump from one point to another your sending unit probably needs cleaned/replaced. As for the speedometer bouncing you probably need to grease the cable. Mine is in need of this too
