Head light bucket will not retract
I could use some help .I have a 2000 Corvette roadster, I left the key in the ignition and drained the battery. It has a new Optima red top. I removed the battery and had it charged last night. It was fully charged. I reinstalled the battery
this morning without problem. When I connected the battery everything started re-booting. When I turned on the headlights both head light doors opened up, when I turned off the head lights
the passenger head light bucket would close but the driver side would remain up. It happened as a result of removing the battery. Any ideas.....Thanks Matt

Hi..... This all started when I changed out the battery, I disconnected the battery for a few minutes then re-connected. The driver side bucket went up
and then stayed down. Hopefully it will stay that way. The car has 5200 miles on it and I do not plan on driving it at night.
Thanks for the help, it was a great suggestion...Matt

Couple other things to try for future reference (or to help others who encounter a similar situation:
- With headlight switch off, turn on high beams. This may sort of force the headlights to close after being commanded open.
- There's a **** on the back of each headlight assembly (behind a rubber cap) that you can turn by hand to open (or close) the headlights.
