<strong>Yahoo Message Number: 7367</strong>Jan, We've had this happen several times in the past three years. We had the factory check it out but they couldn't find a mechanical problem. We have found that by pushing against the face of the cover a couple of times then press the switch it will open and close as it should. <br/>Good Luck!<br/><br/>Ed Knodle<br/><br/>2001 Allure 30613
