RS Head Lamp Covers

Where should I look for the problem of my covers opening ok but do not close? Is there a diagram of how the vacuum system works and what the components are. That would help me with all the spaghetti under the hood and fenders.
Thanks

The switch on the reserve tank may be in the override position. The covers will stay open so the lamps can be changed.
If that isn't it, the vacuum slider on the headlamp switch may be broken. Switch would have to be replaced. Requires someone with skinny arms.

Is that what that switch is for? What position should it be in?

Normal operating position is to the right.

Before you take out that switch I would bypass it and make sure that is what it is. I changed mine and it isnt easy

Great idea! That is how I am dealing with the cowl induction switch and solenoid.
Thanks

I broke down and replaced actuators that fixed the problem. Thank goodness for the aims diagrams. I had a devil of a time getting the cotter pins in on the headlight doors. No room to hold pins and install cotter pin. I had to tape the pins in place than install cotter pins. Any secrets?
Thanks for all the help!
