+===== Back tail door lock wouldn't electrically open =====
+When trying to unlock the back tail door look with either the big button above the license plate, or with the buttons over the dash to open the door, only anemic click would be heard. I replaced the lock, and no difference. Just intermittent click, and no open.
+Assumed broken wire through the back door hinge, looked for which wires were used to open the lock. There were 7 wires. Had a hard time finding the schematic in the book. It was near the back of the book and labeled Back Ajar motor.

+==== Solution ====
+Determined that Gray/White was not doing anything. Traced it back, saw it enters from the door trim to the main cab near upper rear-upper-brake-light, on passenger side slightly. When I started to open a multi-conductor plug, it came apart ridiculously easily. Figured out the plug was just not plugged in all the way. Plugged it in good and firm, reassembled. Good to go!
