A motor vehicle includes a liftgate or a trunk lid. The local panel is adapted to be push-button operable conveniently by an operator with gloved hands in a position where it is readily visible and easily connectable electrically to the remote panel and to the one or more proximity antennas. The module includes a fluid flowable within each of the cooling channels and in thermal energy exchange relationship with each of the cells. The alignment guide is mechanically linked to apparatus for subsequently inserting a guide pin into the bone parallel to the guide rod. A control unit controls the driving unit not to close the panel when there is an object on the panel. The housing assembly can be configured to sealingly house electronics or other components.
