There's no such access door on mine anywhere in the trunk. Everything is
totally sealed up with very un-jeep-like plastic with no exposed fasteners.
I even removed the tail lamps hoping that that would get me access into
wiring I assume is in the quarter panels, but no luck, there's just basic
light wiring disappearing into a little grommet. There's no wiring
accessible anywhere from underneath either. No luck lifting the trunk carpet
from the back either.

Well, that's what I've been doing. I started by testing the output from the
7-way to 4-way converter, then the 7-way connector under the bumper, then
the connector that connects the 7-way thingy to the wiring that comes out
from behind the bumper. Testing beyond that is impossible so far, since I've
no idea where the other end of that tan wire is. It's not under the rear
seat like the Haynes diagram (labelled "Typical", hah) indicates it should
be, and I can't seem uncover any other wiring anywhere without resorting to
a zip-cut on my grinder to get through all the plastic.

To get the back panels off mine you have to remove the lower sill cladding
and pull down the upper cladding after removing the two screws you can see
and the two hidden behind the cargo lamp lens. There are a few screws holding
in the rear D panels, then removing the cargo cover mounts, the rear sides can
be pulled free. Generally everything is held in by metal clips that are poorly
fastened to the plastic panels. (I've had to epoxy back four of them so far)
I'd probably call a dealership and find out if they have the service book
and would let you take some notes/photocopies. Most don't have a problem
with this.

I guess so. I finally found the next connector up, and it's not getting any
power on the tan wire either. According to the Haynes manual, the next thing
up is a splice with one wire going off to the right rear turn signal, which
works fine. I'm really stumped now.
