self locking driver's door
A few years back, I replaced all of the vacuum lines in my 65 bird while having the dash reupholstered. Everything seemed to be working ok, but last fall when I'd start the car, the driver's door would lock when the vacuum built up. The passenger door doesn't do this. I rebuilt everything in the drivers door two winters ago, but haven't pulled the door card on the passenger side yet. The dash lock switch doesn't affect either door to lock or unlock either door. I put a vacuum on the largest nozzle in the switch while holding my fingers on the two smaller ones. It would hold a vacuum and release the pressure when I pushing the lever either way. I'm going crazy trying to chase down the issue - it's got to be a vacuum issue, but not sure where to look next. Any suggestions? I'm not ready to unplug them yet, but that may be the easiest solution.
Thanks guys! |

I found this diagram. Looks like there is supposed to be only one switch.
The object at the top of the drawing, just left of center, looks to be a simple junction "tree". If that is true then it can be cleaned and tested for leaks, and if broken, replaced with one pass-through and two tees. If there are check valves integral and they are not working, they can be replaced with remote ones. Once you locate that tree, it should be a simple process to test hoses for leaks and operators for function using a simple hand held vacuum pump. |
