Default Headlight Question

Please help guys, I'm having a problem with my headlights.

My headlights are popping up when they shouldn't and won't go down when they should. If I just turn on my 'running lights' the headlights pop up; and if the headlights are on and I try to go just to the 'running lights,' the headlights stay up. This problem just started.

Any ideas as to the cause?

Thanks.

Mine stay up if I have had the headlights on and go to parking lights but, if they were down and I turn on the parking lights they don't pop-up.

That's how mine used to work, but not anymore...

I believe there is a diagnostic section in the GM Helms manual on the operation of the headlights. I have not encountered this issue with my 89. If you want a fax copy of the section, send me a note.
