Not sure what happens to fancy power doors and locks when

All the cars I've had with power windows and locks had fairly hardy
circuits that did not run through the computer (likely for exactly
this reason). I would be very surprised if they didn't work underwater
for a few minutes at least. I think I remember someone running tests
on this (Mythbusters maybe) and it wasn't usually a problem.

On the other hand, I wouldn't lose much sleep over paying $2.50 for a
punch just in case...

Thanks to all that replied. $2.50 is cheap at twice the price. Plus, you
never know when you'll pass by a wreck where someone needs to be pulled out.
A window punch is a good thing to have around.
