Default Re: Locking System won't disarm with FOB

Hi Bob,
yes, all the locks except on the gear shift assembly and hood are vacuum operated. The yellow lines running from the top of the CLP are vacuum lines. I think the way it works is by using a diaphragm and spring - to lock, a vacuum is generated in a particular line, and a plunger connected to a lever is pulled down opening the lock. When the vacuum is released, the spring pushes the lever back up (it maybe more complicated than that - there could be stable positions on the plunger, door locks have manual overrides, etc..). I think the pump goes on if the vacuum leaks out. You might have a different issue in that a vacuum line may be broken. I don't know which locks are on which vacuum circuits - the service manual might help.
