Thats impossible, I have an 82 300SD and it has no vac acutator in the drivers door, nor any vac line even going into the door at all....nor does my trunk lock have the switch in it to run the system. Our 83 does not have that feature either. I used a hand vac pump on the system on both cars, all locks except the drivers door respond. You can also feel the difference, the one on the drivers door feels different when lifted or lowered by hand than the ones attached to a vac acutator.

I am pretty sure that only the later cars had the driver door lock vac acutator added so they would open when the trunk lock was used. But that was 1984 onward...so your car must have had the system re-done at some point with the altered setup. Thats my best guess.
