Well, checked the harness at the rear gate. There were some worn wires that were replaced, but the pump is still running constantly. The rear wiper also works intermittently regardless of switch position. One thing I think I've come to a conclusion to is that there is no wiring in the rear of the vehicle for the washer pump, or at least I don't know why there would be.....

I am going to follow the harness into the rear quarter panel to check there for any issues, then I will possibly just replace the switch if I can find one.

The plug located in the harness in the rear drivers side quarter panel was corroded with broken/missing pins. Removed the plug and rewired with bullet connectors, all fixed!

What? Opening the rear hatch is supposed to turn on the interior light? It doesn't on mine. There's not even a door jam switch on the rear hatch. I've been robbed.

The dome light switch for the rear hood is built into the rear hood latch mechanism inside the door. You can actuate it by using a screwdriver to push the latch into the lock position.
If it’s not turning on the dome light then you likely have a broken wire under the left side rubber boot in between the top of the car and the top of the rear hood.
