Indeed, it is, thus in my earlier reply I admitted to "knowing" that something is wrong with the "brain" in the trunk. Though physically 'connected', there may be very low (or NO) voltage flow with poor, corroded, connections. I will be pulling the interior apart (once I get the hatch open) and going into the tub, removing the brain and inspecting closely ALL the connectors/connections to see if I can find, correct, and "seal" everything for the future.
