No can do... the power pull down is integrated into the car electronics communications, thus its not just a simple relay.

There was one forum member that attempted this conversion.
He got a used electric latch, and matching bracket, and had the rear disassembled and mounted them in this '15. He was working on independent electronics to control it and rewiring the rear open and dash open switches, along with the dash light indicator. You see, on the '14 and '15 cars, all this stuff is outside the CANBUS but on the '16 and newer, it is all controlled by the BCM via the CANBUS and other modules (I think). I never saw a post if he got it working.
Might be possible. Look at all the crazy stuff they do on cars in the SEMA shows. Beyond us mortal's abilities.

Doing so certainly wouldn't be on my to-do list, since I've found it quite easy (and with nary an electrical glitch) closing such without... for more decades than I'll bother counting.
