To alleviate fear of reconnecting the vac lines wrong, code them with little
spots of different color paints on the lines and connectors. I have several
small bottles of different color artist's paint that work very nicely for
such. Different color tapes could do it, too.

This is great in theory, but what I have found in practice is that the
lines
are a b*tch to disconnect, and if I do more than one at a time there is
that
fear of reconnecting them the WRONG way, with unknown but potentially DIRE
consequences...

I figured everyone knew ...
Not being there to point out things makes it frustrating trying to help.
Isolating the problem to the lock circuit, as opposed to both circuits,
does narrow things down.
The section in the shop manual should tell you the colors of hard line to
expect. Isolating the problem to one of the three vacuum lines that go
through the firewall into the passenger compartment (NOT the one that
comes back out and goes to the injection pump) will help, too.
Then, it's a matter of taking your Mity-Vac and going down the lines from
the vacuum source to each of the destinations, evacuating each one that
branches off the main line separately.
