I had similar symptoms, ages ago with my 3.2 Sovereign. In my case it was the vacuum line on the engine bay side of the bulkhead that got damaged and thus blocked all functionality in the car interior...

Seal part number is BCC9214 for vehicles up to VIN687219, and GMB9024AA for later cars. Both part numbers are ...
