I'm re-posting this 'cause I'm still at a loss to figure out the wire routing for the rear hatch actuator. It definitely runs along the roofline on the drivers side, behind the front seat...but, I haven't determined its pathway to that point yet. I have the cluster out to get a better birdseye view of the spaghetti behind the dash, but still can't locate where the wiring originates. Anyone? Bueller...Bueller?
