Subject:Wire routing for PDL in rear hatch
From:Zeitgeist
Date:Sun, 11 Nov 2007 20:19:50 -0800

Hi folks, I'm in the process of installing an aftermarket PDL kit
w/remote into my '89 Wolfsburg Edition.  I'm going to use the stock
wiring to the sliding door and rear hatch, but the latter is giving me
fits.  I can't figure out where to tie-in to the rear hatch wiring,
'cause I can't find where it originates.  I assume it's somewhere up
behind the fusebox, but damned if I can locate the source in all that
clusterf@#k.  I do know it runs along the roofline on the drivers
side, and can locate it by popping out the air vents up there.  The
wiring just magically appears behind the drivers seat, but doesn't run
along the same roofline channel if you pop out the front dome light
fixture.

Does anyone who's been either dismantled later vans, or messed with
PDL wiring know how the rear hatch wiring is routed--or, where it
originates?  I'm just trying to locate the point furthest forward that
I can connect with the new wiring.

TIA
