1. How do I make the driver door lock work in the fashion of not having to lock the door from the outside upon exiting the car. I want to be able to push down on the door lock knob and shut door and walk away with a door that is locked without having to use the key.
2. What is the deal with trunk locks. Sometimes I need my key to unlock the trunk and other times I do not. Sometimes within in 10 seconds of each other I can't make sense of it. What is the locking and unlocking sequences with the key? I am almost ready to hook up a remote trunk release

Read the pdf for the trunk lock. I'd worry less about overpressurizing vacuum reservoirs and more about normal operations of the lock. It may not be broken at all, just misunderstood.
