'Suction' Doors

Just curious about the 'Suction' doors feature, was this standard on the 03' CL55? My trunk use to do this but it stopped working and i am wondering of the doors use to this as well and just stopped working before i bought the car . . .

Is there any way to find out whether or not i have this feature on the doors without taking it to a tech?

Thanks in advance

This should be standard on all CL.

Under the passenger rear seat, there's a fuse (if memory serves it's yellow and 20A). Pull that and it resets the system. Then test each door, to make sure they work. Then test the trunk.

Most likely it is either opening or closing the trunk that shorts out the system. You will then need to repair the trunk latch. It's also possible one of your door modules is leaking, which you'll know if the door won't work.
