[V8] Central Locking System

[cobram at juno.com]

A "Mighty Vac" or similar vacuum pump will help you isolate the problem,
even if it's not visually apparent.  Could be a leak anywhere, including
the trunk, actuator or even a weak pump.  The worse case I've ever seen
was a 5KT which had the linkage binding and miss routed on every door
except drivers, looked like bodywork had been done to the door skins and
they just slapped it all together to pump it out of the shop.  I did get
a nice 2 foot pry bar for my efforts, someone had left it in the RR door.
