I think I need to change approaches after reading some more.
What I do know so far
1. The wing is not working properly. Motor is good
Dash is lit up like a christmas tree - BAS/EPS TC etc. my understanding is that affects the wing. Does it affect manual operation?
2. I think the trunk latch closed switch is not working. the switch always has continuity no matter what position the trunk latch is in. I understand this is very hard to test without a STAR system.
Before I spend anymore time on the lid I am going to concentrate on the wing and get it working properly.
