s5oo locking question's
hello
today i took out the pse vacuum pump and put in a new 20amp fuse , it did not blow so my pump is toast. i took the pump apart and the ground wire going to the motor was not connected. i was happy for a second thinking , i found my trouble, but that would not make the fuse blow. i put power to the motor and it was seized which heated the ground wire and the solder dripped off , thats why the wire was loose. i took the motor apart cleaned it, it ran for 3 minutes than stopped again. i ordered a new pump for $600. i cant wait to get it. is there any programming that needs to be done? and what is the other black box and theres also a plastic tank with air or hydraulik lines they also connect to something that is covered in grey foam, its rectangular about the size of a small loaf of bread. the box, tank and rectangular foam cover are located behind the vacuum pump.
thanks

Soft Close
The door locks not working is another part that happens when the pump burns out.
My pump probably burnt out because the trunk actuator was leaking for a couple of years and my wife who drives the car never fully closed the trunk lid.
