stupid vacuum problem is driving me nuts!

First off....

CAR: 83 wagon

PROBLEM: car looses vacuum when locks are in the un-locked position, therefor car does not shut off when the car is un-locked. When the doors are locked, car shuts off fine. I used to be able to lock and un-lock the car many times before I ran out of vacuum, now I am lucky if I can do it once. What the heck happened? I am at my wits end on the problem. One other thing, when this problem first started if the car was shut off and doors un-locked, there was a buzzing/humming noise coming from the dash that would go away when you locked the doors, very weird!!

Thanks!
