Actually all you would have is the plug underneath the center console. You need to get the release or motor, the wiring, the solenoid, relay, switch etc to make it work.

OK, I couldn't find my camera so I will do my best to describe it. Under the center console you should find a set of brown and orange wires with a female plug at the end. You will need the relay housing, on one end of the housing is a set of a yellow and orange wires that has a male plug, which plugs into the female under the console, out of the relay housing is another set of wires orange and brown that plugs into the switch. Now the relay is small and black and I got the # 329820 off of it. I hope this helps.

You won't find the relay, you have to have the complete wiring from a donor car that has it. It runs from the center console to the hatch release, I installed it when I did my interior swap, carpet and everything removed from the car.
