Adding Power Trunk Release Ideas...Need Help

[Jrilla]

OK, so I took off my wife's camry latch and my Yaris latch and it looks like I could take the actuator mototr off the camry and it might fit on the Yaris latch. The Yaris latch looks like it was designed for the same motor as the Camry since they are both similar in shape and design and there is a plastic cover on the Yaris that looks exactly like the one covering the motor on the Camry latch, and they are in the same position with respect to the latch mechanism. The only difference I see is the Yaris has a spring loaded trunk pin and the spring runs right through were the motor would go. This might not be a problem since the Camry only has 2 wires and it doubles as a motor actuator and a trunk pin (I assumed that but I haven't looked too close at that yet).

On the other idea, I did see a connector that wasn't being used near the license plate lights, one was White/Black and the other was Tan. I thought this might be for a brake light on a spoiler since I couldn't think of anything else it would be for. The camry had two such connectors but I forgot to look at the colors.

As before, any ideas are welcome.

The beige and White/black wire is for the spoiler stop light. It merges with the wiring to the taillights right in the trunk.
