Headlight doors wont close
The Headlight doors on the mark VI used to close when the car was running and for about 3 mins after I shut the car off they would stay closed. But today I went to the car wash with it, and they where fine, then after I got the car cleand and wen't to pull out and the auto lamps came on since it was a bit dark in the car wash. Ever since then they won't close at all now, Any ideas?

Hmm, i dont know why. but something i would do is look for the in-line valve on the headlight vac lines, make sure they are closed. start checking from the right light till you get to the vac tree. making sure all the noids are workings. sounds like it went into "safe mode"Originally posted by Grand_Marquis_LSS View Post -
The headlight switch has a vacuum port on it. If that failed, or if the vacuum line to the front cracked they won't shut. They ought to stay closed for a few days, so there was definitely a leak already. trace out the vacuum hoses from the headlamp doors and you'll probably find the problem.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).
