Info on head light doors
I have a 79 L82, 350 with 4spd. I just completed a front suspension rebuild, including new radiator and brakes etc. When I started the car, without turning the headlights on, the headlight doors popped up and won't go back down (lights go on and off with switch). As far as I can tell none of the vacum lines are pinched and I don't recall intentionally disconnecting any wires. Can anyone steer me in the right direction to fix?

Thanks Komoman! After reviewing the information you provided, I now know that the little **** just under the steering column is the manual override valve which I mistakenly pulled while messing with my seats. I pushed the **** up (closed position) and the doors are working properly again. Many thanks for the reply!!!

Great when it is so simple to repair. Sure beats going through all the valves and headlight switch.

Glad it worked out so easy for you, Bob! Now if only my slow-opening left headlight were so easy to fix!
