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?
