Grand Voyager BCM/Liftgate Wiring

In removing the BCM (with battery connected) I think I may have broken the relay or transistor that fires the liftgate solenoid. When I press the button on the dash or the keyless entry I get 12 volts at the button on the dash. I forgot to write down the wire color but I have located it at J1 on the BCM. My question is, what is the wire color of the wire that runs back to the soleniod? This info is missing from the Haynes manual; it doesn't go into any detail on the BCM or its wiring. I am hoping I can avoid removing all the door trim and diagnose this from the dash area.

The wire that goes to B+ on liftgate activation is Yellow w/Black stripe. The solenoid is not firing.

Took liftgate trim off, wire coming from body to solenoid is green/black stripe. There must be a relay somewhere because this wire is not going to the BCM. Fuse #27 for liftgate is ok.

I found the info I needed for free at the public library. They have access to a database called "MotorAllData" that also has schematics.
The problem was on the negative side of the relay drive, which is the liftgate interlock circuit. This signal comes from the BCM and goes low only if the vehicle is not moving and is not in gear. The circuit is part of U103 in the BCM, which I replaced with a MOSFET, IRFD113. Why? Because I can.
