I jury rigged my own 4 ways and I had to run a new yellow/green stripe line since the original was cut and plugged and there was no yellow/red stripe at all going to the trunk so naturally nothing was working.
I cobbed together a test line for the yellow/red stripe and was able to get my trunk lock operating with the door locks but the fuel door lock is reversed in that it locks when I unlock the doors and vice versa!
So, tomorrow I will get enough vac line for the yellow/red to hook it up right but the fuel door pod is bugging me. I tried switching the vac line to the other port but nothing at all happens when I use the door locks so something is screwy.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Andrew

Wow, you're in the thick of it now
Sounds like you're making headway though...if the fuel door was locking when all the other doors, then you have the yellow/green line going to the "lock" port. If you just moved it to the other port, the spring would unlock the fuel door AND the yellow/green (well, it may not be yellow/green,but its connected to the "unlock" circuit) line would try unlocking it some more when you applied vacuum to it....so nothing would happen. You need to connect the yellow/red line to the "lock" port of the fuel door actuator.
You're almost there...keep at it. If you haven't already found this thread, here's a good vac system troubleshooting guide:
