There's a vac pump in the trunk. When the doors are lock/unlocked a signal goes to the vac pump which powers the pump and moves the door plunger. Look over these 2 articles for some basics on how it works:

Look through this for a wiring diagram of the door system:

It's possible there could be a broken wire at the door hinge or broken vac line.
