Default Headlights don't close

Last night when I went to turn off my headlights they wouldn't close unless I turned them on and off again. The next time only one would close. Any help on the fix for this would be appreciated. :confused: :flag

You may have a leak in a vacume line. As vettes get older, these lines become brittle and may crack. This is the first place to look.

Inspect your vacume lines for any obviouse cracks ,holes, or loose connections.

My leak was in the hose that ran from the carb to the transmission. I finally found it when the car would not shift properly.

Good luck, they can be a real headache to find.

Drive On,
TJ

Check your headlight actuator to make sure a hose hasn't come loose.
