Default Automatic Door Lock won't function

I have a 1999.5 Avant. When I press the lock button on the inside of the car or from the remote the doors won't lock/unlock. I can hear the pump running and have tried to listen for a hiss or leak at one of the actuators but haven't had any luck. Are there any tips or tricks or problems areas you can recommend before I start ripping the thing apart completely? And yes, I searched...
Thanks in advance

OMG.
I just blew $750 on a new pump.
I nearly fainted. I started a thread above, and was wondering if anyone else had that problem and how they solved it.
Too late for me, as I have paid and fixed it already.
Keep in mind the keys will have to be reprogrammed after the installation. Not difficult. Just see WJM's instructions.

Default Thanks

I blanked on the "central" part of it and was about to beat my head in going through old posts.

Cheers
