1)Trunk, fuel door, all doors

2)IIRC There is an electronic switch in the drivers door lock (and in later models I believe the trunk) that triggers the pump to lock/unlock. If the pump runs too long with out building up (leak) then it will time out and no longer work when triggered until it is reset by disconnecting the battery.
