You confused me alright. There is NO vacuum release in either direction. It sucks or pushes. Lets go back to basic.

1) Assuming you still have the problem.
2) Isolate the vacuum line AT the pump. Connect the mityvac to it and pull vacuum. Does it HOLD vacuum and lock ALL doors. This is fundamental.
3) If all the doors locks as expected, you said they did, the vacuum circuit is OK.
4) Remove the mityvac and blow air into the line. Either using your mouth or use compress air, very low PSI. Everything should unlock.
5) If 3 and 4 OK then there is nothing wrong with the hoses, no leak in pods.
5) Then connect the mityvac to the pump inlet. Turn trunk key to lock and does the pump work and pull vacuum in the mityvac? It should.
6) Turn key to unlock, does the mityvac vacuum drops? Back to atmosphere+.

Do not need to open the door panels yet. The pods rarely does wrong electrically. I suspect it is the wire goes from the lock to your pump.

Report back and see how we go from there.
