[V8] V8Q Still no start

The lock pump is hidden inside a foam box and is not silver ... I
suspect that what is being requested is the ABS brain ... which sits in
a well at the front side of the area seat bottom on the driver's side.
If your car has not gotten the airbag recall you will find the airbag
energy module there too ...
