Yup, I get that too. Presumably on an LHD model its linked to the other door?

I knew it was the fuel pump but never quite knew why or when, it doesn't happen every time, only the first time after you've unlocked it?
Its a bit freaky. There must be a reason why it runs then and not on the 1st turn of the ignition.
