[V8] 1990 V8 Quattro locks question

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Carter,

The lock mechanism on the '90 is vacuum-operated.  Proper operation would be 
that all doors including trunk are unlocked when unlocking the driver's 
door.  If the vacuum pump isn't operational or there is a break in one of 
the vacuum lines, only the driver's door (or passenger door) will work.  Not 
sure if the vacuum pump is fused independently.

HTH

Ingo
