If you find water it indicates that you have a problem in the area under the styrofoam. That is where the air pump that locks/unlocks the door is located.
Here in the USA the air pump is located on the right (passenger) side of the car, but in europe it may be different.
If memory serves me correctly the pump (CLP/SSM) in the trunk has nothing to do with the car starting.
