If I can recall it well enough to describe, it seems like when you turn the key to the 'unlock' position it doesn't change the mechanism setting inside... until it does, one time in 20.

Maybe it is the vacuum actuation holding it locked, but I would have to wonder at how as I thought the trunk got its vacuum from the door circuits and mine are inop, plugged with golf tees at the moment (shame, shame, I know).

Brainfart: Or have I got this turned around, the vacuum unlocks not vice versa... ahhhh....
