Igntion can be on or off for trunk lid solenoid to work. Must be in
park (or neutral will also work I think - but Park, definitely).

Middle wire is the ajar signal - don't worry about that. The BK/WT wire
is the solenoid voltage signal from the BCM to the solenoid - and from
what you posted previously, appears to be the problem - see my opther post).
