I was trying to clean up the mess of wiring with my alarm.

In the process of cleaning up the wads of electrical tape and rerouting I accidentally snipped the trunk trigger wire from the alarm.

Now I soldered this back together and put the whole alarm back in its spot, but when i went to start the car the hatch light is now always on. And when I arm the alarm the alarm sounds a chirp to tell me that the hatch is open, so for now I have disconnected the trunk trigger, the trunk trigger is connected to the alarm from the boot of the car, tapping into the green wire with silver dots.

Here is what I have tried.

1. Unplugged the electrical connection by the trunk near the lock, this did not make the light go out.

2. Looked by the hatch release by the drivers seat, couldn't see anything wrong.

3. unplugged connections under the dash, found the plug which made all the dash lights go out, hatch close light went out.

4. Pushed on the hatch to see if it was a latch issue, it wasnt

5. Latch screws are on freakin tight, i couldn't get them to budge.

Questions.

1. Why wont the light go out when i unplug the connection by the hatch ? I thought this would make it go out.

2. What else can I try to do to figure out where the problem is coming from ?

Thanks any advice or tips would be appreciated.

I have disconnected the trunk sensor to stop the alarm from going off on that circuit.

I'm wondering where I should start to try and figure out whats wrong ?

I have tried to find the trunk wire under the dash, but there are literally 20 - 30 green wires with different dots and colors on them. Does anyone one know which harness to look at or where to start. So far i have spent 3 days trying to fix this.

any ideas would be welcomed. I did check the connections on the hatch end, and they all seem to be good.
