Thanks guys! (this is actually the 1st time here on moparts anyone has ever answered one of my questions!)

FC7 - I've done that, I've also disconnected the hose plug from the switch and jumped directly from the input suction line to the door open line...same

71GTX - Good suggestion but everything is pretty new/lubed. if I "help" the door linkage up a bit it will eventually catch and open. But again if I use the manifold suction it opens right up

also checked for and kinks/pinches in the hose routing. I do have two plastic "splices" where I burned one of the hoses otherwise the hose harness is new

during the assembly...


and it did work fine once
