Default 71 headlight doors open all the time

My dash is dismantled. Headlight doors have been in the “up” position since ive had the car

They work - i did fool with some of the vac lines one day while the engine was running and both closed - then i mustve disconnected and shut the car down - alas they are back up.

is there a way to manually lower them until at some time I
sort out all the vaccuum lines and put the interior back together? Or does vaccuum really keep them
closed even when the motor is off?

ive only fooled with elec C2 headlight doors

This troubleshooting guide will help you test the headlight section:

Let me look for a way to close the doors from under the car.

Here you go:
Just pull down as shown.
