Bud,,, The Body Control Module (BCM) is in the passengers foot well under the toe board. It interfaces with ALL the other modules and controls all the body functions. If you unplugged it,,the car would cease to function. The module in the rear hatch is the F-45 Real Time Dampening module.Here is a pic of the BCM>

Another thought to add to Bill's, it is always a very bad decision to unplug any electronic device while its powered up. Doing so, you can fry components that will hit the wallet in a real nasty way.
