Trunk Latch Pull Down

I recently removed my seats to replace them and I found a couple of wires coming out of under the carpet a hot ground and a hot with a built in fuse. I thought the previous owner had installed an amp or stereo as the wires went into the center counsel? Anyways I opened the trunk a few days later and now the pull down mechanism no longer works? Did ASC rewire the pull down mechanism when they added the switch to the tonneau release button. Any help is greatly appreciated.

They may have. They re-routed the hatch release switch to release the tonneau, so there might be a little more going on there...

Re: Trunk Latch Pull Down

Have you unplugged the blue wire from the red/white stripe wire and tested the red/white stripe wire for power?
