Power door locks.... it's all the way in the trunk and surrounded in styrofoam to dampen the noise.

No worries... it's kind of a strange system. ;-)

Just noticed you're in Winnipeg Mark... you and your loved ones OK??  Lots of water there.... AGAIN !!  My dad's from Winnipeg and has pictures of himself as a kid filling sandbags... many decades ago.

I lived in Winnipeg when the asinaboine (Spelling?) flooded. I was 7. Flooding is Dismal.

I was wondering the same thing I have that on my 91. Figured it out when I pushed the drivers door lock pin down and heard the pump kick in.
