Default Re: door lock problem

When we took the car in both doors locked and unlocked with the remote but the drivers door would not lock if you pushed the central locking button on the dash. The dealership ordered parts and replaced the air pump and some other TSB. Now the drivers side locks and unlocks great. Turns out there was a short somewhere near the headlight. Only problem is NOW they can't get the passanger side to unlock. There is good vaccuum and there is eletricity but the lock won't unlock! Anybody have any ideas? Thanks for any and all free advice!!!
It uses vacuum to open(?) and air pressure to shut(?) or the reverse, so you need vacuum and air pressure in the same line. Do you have both?
The electricity only goes to the pump in the trunk.

The first picture shows the air/vacuum lines (yellow) leaving the pump area going to the doors, hatch and gas cap door.
The second picture shows the line going to the lock in the door, passenger door shown but the other is the same.
