Default head light problem

Drivers side works fine but pass side wont come up unless I pull up on it.It only takes a little pull with my finger to get it going.Car has sat up for 4 weeks while installing a vintage air kit.Just looking for a heads up place to start.Everything in the system was replaced a little over a year ago.I looked at it for a minute and I couldnt see any hoses that may have come loose.I also replaced the actuators,seals, switch.Everything worked fine till it sat up for a few weeks.Both headlight doors came up quick and even.

I have a mighty vac pump.It was late and hadnt had a chance to trouble shoot it yet.Just thought someone may have run across the same problem.Its almost like it dosent have enough vaccum to operate it without me giving it a little help.But the drivers side snaps right up.Its strange the darn thing worked great till it sat up a few weeks.I wont have time to fool with it till next wensday.Seems like its always something.Air works great now that its winter time but at least I wont be frying next summer.

Sounds like a bad relay on the passenger's side.
