    Now I’m trying to get the electronics to work. Another potential screw up

    So this connector is not even connected. QSilver, do you know where this connects to?

    Two wires, ground, positive, most likely just to the trunk light. There are two, one on the lid, the other inside near where the rear deck speakers are if I'm not mistaken =)

    This is the light I'm thinking of:

    Okay I’ll do that later today. But I know for a fact it’s not the connector for the trunk light because the light turns on when it is opened.

    Have a look at this routine by Edwin - it shows the connector in your picture:

    Timm, so now that I have my trunk open, and those connectors that I posted look to be in good shape, how do I fix the remoteless key button and the button inside the cabin to open the truck electronically?

    I guess that the trunk actuator you fitted is dead!
