So you're saying that if I apply vacuum to the entire locking system (at the T in front of the firewall that connects the yellow and blue lines) I should be able to build it up and hold it regardless of whether the driver's door lock is up or down, correct? I did this test on the first day and the results were as follows:

* With everything unlocked, applying vacuum locked everything (but the driver's door of course).
* If the driver's door was locked, nothing happened.

Also, even before I messed with the system, I was never able to unlock the other doors by unlocking the driver's door. Only the locking feature ever worked. Does this information help in the diagnosis?
