Check to make sure that the lock actuator at the trunk handle is hooked up. Some unhooked and plugged off.

Well I pulled the fuse and it resets it for a little and everything starts to work again I've noticed it doesn't work on any of the doors until I reset the fuse also I'm getting a check engine light for a secondary vaccuum leak I'll get the code and post it on here in a little bit

leak

You might have a leak at actuators or tubing,and or motor is wore. There another group that has instructions to replace electric motor for cheap.These pumps are expensive otherwise. www.benzworld.org look in w140 section

I hope it's not the motor honestly sounds like it isn't to hard to replace and tubing could be a pain it seems the truck stops first then the drivers door and then the front passenger and the back two continue to work this is all after I reset the pump

It's not really a big issue really just a nuisance because I like my cars to be prestige I did however just notice something coming home from work today when is come to a stop it was like the engine was dogged down when I hit the gas petal it hesitated I don't think it was the transmission because it wasn't revving also when I went pulled into the driveway and finally let it just idle it was fluctuating up and down by about 250 Rpms any idea on the possible issue much thanks guys I know this is completely off topic from the start of this thread
