Doesn't this mean you lose the ability to lock all doors by manually locking the driver's lock? (The vacuum pump would only be activated by the keyless entry system, right?)

I dunno what kind of actuator you had.... Mine are the typical universal type, and I can't for the life of me figure out where I can squeeze it in there. All the space is taken up by the stock "actuator" that sends the lock/unlock signal to the vacuum pump (it isn't really an actuator so why is it so big?? Grrrr).
Here's a picture of my door - the stock gizmo is outlined in green, and the rectangle is a support for the window mechanism that also gets in my way. The actuator is dangling on the right. The inset portions of the door (at the top and just above the green rectangle) get in the way of everything too... Perhaps you can help me pinpoint where I can fit this thing!
