If you start to see odd behavior in the next weeks or months, remember this.
A couple of years ago I purchased a Central Locking Pump to have as a spare from a salvage yard seller on ebay. The listing said it was tested and good. I didn't want to tear apart the coupe to test it, so I decided I would just check inside it to see if there was any corrosion. Removing the bottom cover revealed extensive corrosion inside the unit. I sent pictures to the seller and without any resistance he provided a full refund and didn't ask for the part back. It was useless to me so I tossed it. I recommend anyone buying a replacement either as a spare or to fix a problem to look inside it.
