Look at 97.135, tracks 162 and 163.  The Black/Gray wire supplies constant
voltage (from the X circuit) so the self-parking feature will work.  The
Green/Black wire is switched through the relay terminal 2/53 to run the
motor on command.  As you can see those two wires run together through four
different connectors on their journey.  The motor grounds through a brown
wire connected to the hatch; it sounds as though this wire is missing or
busted.
