Vacuum Locks

[George]

This is a chronic problem with this tub. My '91 20v will get its locks out
of synch if I unlock the hatchback with the key only and then shut it. When
I next unlock the driver side door with the key the hatchback will lock.
Next cycle it straightens itself out. I think it is a mechanical sequencing
problem. 

When it first happened about 15 years ago, I opened up the hatchback to
check the vacuum lines. Everything was OK but I put snap ties on everything
and haven't been in there since.

Were all of the other locks unlocked? Next time that happens, try the
passenger side door to check the pl switch.

Hi all,

Car was unlocked, trunk was still locked. later when I unlocked the car,
trunk this time was unlocked. I did not hear noise from trunk when locking
or unlocking car with key at driver's door the first time when trunk did not
unlock, then later the trunk unlocked. Fortunately anyway can unlock trunk
with key by turning clockwise to end.
any ideas what happened?
