 Do you know of a way to test the pump to see if it still works.  I've
checked the wiring in the door of my 4kcsq and all seems fine.  One wire at
the plug connection tested around 12V so it's definetly getting power at the 
door.

 On my 90Q, the trunk lock failure was mechanical.  There is a mechanical
thingy that slides left and right to disable/enable the push-to-open
feature.  After freeing it up and lubricating, it seems to work fine.
Just pop the trunk and look at the back side of the lock; have someone else
actuate the the autolocks and watch to see if the actuator is moving (or trying
to move).
