I'm having the same issue, and was wondering where the wires go from behind the hatch panel. I have to rely on someone helping me (i'm disabled) and so want to have as much information as possible before I get into this project.
Does anyone know what side of the liftgate/which of the two boots the wires go through?
Which side of the cargo bay they go down?
Where they tie in to the rear door locks (I'm assuming that's where they tie in, anyway)?
If there's a dedicated pair of wires coming from the locking control computer/relay for it?
Where that relay is?
Any questions that I ought to be able to answer in .2 seconds once the cover is off, feel free to just say 'you should see it', but I've had nightmareish times chasing volvo wiring, before I needed help...
Thanks for your help, all.
