    If you look at the breaker panel under the dash there’s a breaker labeled “Unlock”… almost certain that is the power source.

    As far as opening the hatches, you can manually open them by raising the engine hatch. Reach between the engine divider and the backing of the seats and you’ll feel a thin piece of metal the solenoid is attached too. Pull it toward the engine and it will unlatch the compartment. You can see the metal I’m talking about in the second pic at the top of this thread. Hard to see in my pic, but the lever I’m talking about is circled in white.

      Hey man that worked awesomely.
      so I found this relay on the starboard side, couldn't seem to find one on port side. Anyone know if this is the hatch relay it definitely seems to be. Anyone know exactly the wiring of it? I put an olm meter where the positive and negative were connected and it beeped but when I touched the end of the positive and negative wires they did not beep. I'm thinking this relay is ok but I'm not getting power to it but that could be because I didn't hit the hatch unlock button (I need to try that again) any ideas from you SAN gurus?
