Door locks stop working under 22 degrees.
And I don't want to trouble shoot at that temp. Above 28 degrees they work fine.

Move to Florida?
My SD has the a similar problem - at low outside temperatures, the old locks just don't move fast enough, and the pump times out. So I take the spare tire out, disconnect the wires, put 'em back together after it warms up a bit outside and all is well again until it gets freakin cold out the next time. GOD I HATE WINTER!!!!! WHY DID I LEAVE CALIFORNIA!!!

Mine all work even at -10F, Guess my car is just rugged and used to the cold, like a true Northerner!

Hell, its hard for me to stick the key in the lock to unlock the door when it gets below 40 degrees. But that doesn't happen that often o'er here.

Which of your cars are you talking about??
Perhaps the temperature causes some minute change in shape/size of the rubber parts to result in vacuum leak?? Do you have other symptoms of vacuum leak at low temperatures? This doesn't make much sense to me otherwise, but I don't know much.

I figure it has to be near the motor since none of the locks work. Does the vac line go from the pump to the driver's door and the driver's door control the other 3?
