Vacuum Headache

Although I think my daughter looks cute opening the hood to shut down her car at school, she disagrees.

I need some help on this one.

The locks and engine shut down don't work. The vacuum pump appears to be working because the brake test works and other lines are drawing. In comparing my 300TD (which is working) to my 300D (which is not), I've discovered which line is not drawing vacuum. Am purchasing the vacuum pump today but still a bit confused at where to start.

After doing a thorough search and study, I'm going to test the check valve and key switch. My Chilton's manual is lame in this area.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Don
