Thank you for responding so quickly!

I have the 4 pin trailer plug as well, i was actually referring to the taillight brake splice connector (three pin) wereas the spice connector has 6. I was assuming in order to get brake lights I would need to get at that harness. Is the brake signal on the turn indicator harness (lower plug?). I haven't been able to get at the yet.

Any advise on getting those panels in the rear off? I removed the two trim plugs from the lift gate bottom but it isn't obvious on how to get started pulling that off.

Go to an auto parts store and get yourself a set of panel trim removers. There are usually 5 or 6 different types of nylon pry bars with different types of ends on them. It makes getting trim panel off much easier...but it is still difficult.
