Well..the system is in default because, I think the vacuum pump is dead. No vacuum produced at all. I can open the driver's or passenger's door with the key manually(no vacuum). I then open the rear doors by hand. Of I could find a good used pump, then I can be able to figure out the system.

I will remove the vacuum pump and post a photo of it. I have tested the tubing with my mitivac. No leak detected. The vacuum pump itself doesn't appear to be running when electrified. So I suspect the pump is dead.. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list

The problem I suspected is the vacuum pump in the trunk. This pump is very different from those I saw on Ebay. I believe because this model 350SDL comes with heated orthopedic driver's seat. This pump has two vacuum ports on the back and the rectangular power connector has three male pins.

The idiot lights comes on and goes off when engine is running and idling. Once the battery is charged for a few minutes, the engine fires up. When key is turned to off and engine stops, car won't start again because the battery has no juice. Car is with the dealer who diagnosed ignition switch.
