I forgot to mention that. You might have to reprogram your remote key(s) if you have them.

There are directions in the manual if you got one with your car. If you have trouble, then you might have to go to the dealer.

Other than that, the pump itself is plug and play.

as myers1.8TQTips stated... easy fix. You should keep your old one if you get a used

replacement. They usually fail mechanically instead of electronically (like yours and mine did) THe old one would be good for parts for you or someone else.
I just bought a used one when mine failed, match the numbers on top of the units.
Programming the key remotes will be simple as long as you have two keys... otherwise once you plug it in all your functions will work. (locks, lights, windows... and whatever other issues you're currently having)
I strongly suggest looking for and fixing whatever leak that is causing water to get into your trunk... these pumps are not cheap. My trunk leaked in a few places and all were easily diagnosed and fixed.
Good luck.
