Default Door Lock Issue!!!

So i pull in from a days work n attempted to lock my car from the trunk as usual because i haven't changed the driver key hole to the new one...
-I tried to lock the doors but they wouldn't lock.
-i sat in the car trying to lock the doors by the button... still wont do anything lock/unlock...
-i looked at some threads and they said check the fuses of course, i checked fuse box 6 (which was rewired for turbo timer) fuse was fine...
-thread also check the unlocking/locking module thats in the trunk... i dont know what necessarily im suppose to look for when i found it but i could hear it going off as if its attempting to lock/unlock the doors when i turn the key in the trunk hole but nothing is budging...

One Major thing: All doors locks execpt driver and trunk... And my tank is on "E" and i cant unlock the cover...

Any suggestions.... because im kinda lost here... Let i must say, im located in Chicago but its not that cold out..

Sounds like a vacumm like cause the trunk, driver, and gas cover are all seperate (because they are unlocked after the first press, and the remaining doors after the second press). Id check the vaccumm lines at the module (they have white caps, one line is for the first unlock (driver etc) and the second is for the rest of the doors, i would check the connection there.. Its gotta be a vaccum issue if you hear the pump run and the other doors lock and unlock. Otherwise there are vac connections under the drivers kick panel i believe, and on the driver lock plunger and on the trunk lock.

I just checked my manual too, p.144 in mine shows the emergency fuel flap unlock, if it doesnt show that on ur owners manual on that page go to the index, its under emergency. Its right by the central locking module..

Also to unlock the gas door, unhook the smaller vac line off the locking module and blow into it. Not exactly a permanent solution, but you can atleast keep driving the car.
