    Default Rear hatch wiring

    I have replaced my rusted rear hatch. Unplugged the harness on the passenger side, installed the new glass and.....well the new hatch is newer/older style. The plug is not even close. SO I unsoldered the 4 wires and attached them to the new wires and reinstalled the plug. BUT non of the wires are the same color, so I do not know what wires go with which. I have a test light and I've grounded it and turned on the rear defronster switch. Non of the wires light the test light. I'm totally baffled. I'm guessing one is for the rear defrost, one for the rear power lock, and the other 2 wires I have no clue. Can anybody shed some light on this for me?
