Looking for thread on rewire of rear hatch

It has been a few weeks since I found it on accident. Most of the wires in between the body and hatch are broken, and I found a DIY with pics on how he rewired it with jumper wires.

Cant seem to find it and I've searched every word combo I can find.... ring a bell to anyone?

still searching....

I saw it. I wouldn't use butt connectors though. I would solder and shrink tube each wire.

Lol, seriously. Butt connectors are the worst thing to use. Want to keep the rust and corrosion out. Had to do my hatch once way back when. My pops helped. It is a PITA but worth it.
