Hey, I went out to reinstall the charged battery in the 5-speed, and  
learned the reason that those locks felt soooo smooth, was that the  
mechanical part is broken on both, and got locked out.  Luckily the  
trunk lock works, and recalling that this recently happened to one of  
you, and that a little compressed air in the vacuum hose was the  
answer.  I couldn't find the "blower" end for my airhose, so first  
tried the "MiniVac" vacuum pump to redeem it's worthyness (after all  
your comments about using it to bleed brakes), but alas....it didn't  
work.  After 1/2 hr in the basement, found the tip, and popped the  
doors instantly.  Without this list, I'd have never thought to do  
that, and pretty sure there is no mention of it in the manual.   
Cheers to everyone once again...Tom
