Be aware that there is a switchover valve block around the knee area in the center console on the passenger side. The solder breaks internally where the individual solenoids are mounted to the printed circuit board. Cut the back off with a hot knife and resolder everything inside. I've redone close to a dozen of them and every single one had broken joints. It's also very common for the rubber elbows that connect the vacuum lines to said switchover valve block to split and leak vacuum.

Yes it's the 1990 and I do have a passenger airbag.
I was thinking of somehow sticking a remote camera in there but may have to resort to removing the airbag.
Yes my first suspicion was the switchover valve but I will do some more diagnosing before pulling and re-soldering it.
