Adding hatch or hood release

I got a solinoid for either power locks or a power trunk release at an auction. I was thinking of either adding a power hatch release...more practical I think.... hood can be released from within car.
Anyway, I know that there are some harnesses in the dash somewhere that are for the hatch release button. Does anyone know which one it is? I'm sure someone out there has this on their car.
My other option is a power hood release... would be easier to install since there is more room up there for a solinoid to be, but I think the power hatch would be more practical.

Thanks
