Did you unplug the Remote Keyless Entry Module ?

You need to inspect the tailgate wire harness at and near the hinges and rubber boots.

Failure of the drivers door wire harness and tailgate wire harness is very common. Since the power door locks are always "hot", a short circuit to another wire circuit, to the speaker wires, or simply to ground, can introduce 12 volts to other circuits, including the CCDBus. Disconnect the driver door wire harness and the tailgate wire harness from the main body wire harness to isolate any potential short circuits and continue your diagnostics.

I finally got some time to inspect the rear hatch harness. I found two wires with broken insulation. They didn't seem to be touching anything but I taped them with electrical tape. Sure enough this morning I had the same thing happen. Wipers running and rear defroster and fog lights on when I turn on the parking lights. What would disconnecting the rke module do?
