Default Headlamp Door problem

Yesterday, I got my baby out of storage for a few days, since mother nature is giving us blue sky and sunshine in Portland, Oregon. Having turn'd on my headlights this morning all was working fine. Arriving at work I turn'd off the turn signal/multifunctional lever and both lamp doors closed and then the drivers side pop'd open. I have the twilight selected off. I can turn down the lamp door manually, but that dosen't fix the problem. Could it be a gear?. The owners manual sez:

The headlamp doors are designed to open when you turn the headlamps on, and close when you turn the headlamps and parking lamps off. If you turn the headlamps on then turn back the parking lamps setting, the headlamp doors will stay open.

I have the GMPP Major Guard Coverage. Any assistance you all can
give me would be appreciated.

You just entered the "winking headlight club"

take a look at this TSB:

instead of buying the new little tan plastic parts you first can try to turn them round 180 degree.
Hope this helps
