Ok so I get my Crimestopper cs2016FM installed and working on my car (1991 Mercedes 300E). The vacuum locks work great and so does everything else. Well i get a little too trigger happy with the remote, and then the locks stop working. None of them work.

So I yank out the vacuum pump, and notice that the drivers door wire (one i spliced into with the relays for the alarm) is only sending 6 volts when unlocked (should send 12) and still shows ground when locked. The passengers door lock still operates all the locks fine.

I've checked all the fuses, and I'm dumbfounded with this problem. IF anyone knows anything about vacuum locks, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
