Finally got rear hatch open . This wire is loose and just sitting there .I ripped the carpet up looking for the other end . Anyone recognise it ? It goes to the solenoid and relay to open the hatch.
This looks a whole lot like the connection for the rear speakers (it would plug into the amplifier in the rear). The location is wrong, though-it should come out by the speaker, not by the rear hatch. Also, it looks pretty chewed up. Not sure I'd trust it, if it were me I'd be running new wires for speakers.
If your car has a key fob that opens/unlocks doors etc, it may hook up to the hidden "sensor unit" (for lack of better term) mounted against rear interior wall of cargo area. It's a rectangular looking device.
Passive RKE that you refer to began in 1993. The second pic shows that this is a pre-90 interior. The 4+3 shifter eliminates 89. The instrument cluster surround is flat, suggesting it's an 84 or 85. None of these years have RKE. I agree that the OP did not mention the year of his car, but sometimes there are clues to narrow down the possible years in the pics and posts, if you look for them.
Bfenty got it right. It's the speaker connector. The wire colors confirm it. So does the 4 terminals in a 6-cavity metripack 280 grey connector. I remember this detail from my 85 speakers.
Even a blind squirrel gets a nut every once in a while I guess.
Where does this go ?
