Default Sticking head lamp

Last night when I turned off my headlights the left one stuck in the upright position. I wasn't in a rush to pop the hood and do the little trick with the motor, so I left it. Eventually it closed by itself.

Is there a fix to make sure it doesn't happen. Or is this something that the '84's were noted for?

Default sticking headlamps

I was just about to ask that question in reverse. I have a problem w/ the left headlamp not popping up. My only answer other than getting under the hood is to restart the car about 10-12 times and eventually it will wake up! My vette also has a problem w/ the DIC showing "check gages" and fuel will show empty. If you restart the car it will correct itself. If you just keep driving it will eventually correct itself. Quirky.
