So, the lights are down - then when you turn the engine off,
the passenger side pops up ?
I'd say one of two issues:
1 - Someone named Bubba worked on the vacuum headlight
system and mucked it up.
2 - The vacuum relay has a leak to the UP side of the vacuum actuator.
Hmmm - maybe 3 :
There is a vacuum over-ride switch under the steering column.
This is used to hold the headlights in the up position when turning off
the engine. It's a little black **** that you push
up and down. Mine was snapped right off. Check it out.
Oh yeah - welcome to the madness !!!
