Default Help with Rear-Hatch!

I just got my car back from the body shop after a nasty wreck, but now the car thinks the hatch is still open, when it's not. The indicator on the dash is on telling me it's open. I checked to see that the wires going into the little box were plugged in good, they are. My question: What can I do to make the car think the hatch is shut all the time until I get the car back to the body shop? I would assume it's 2 of the wires coming out of the box just needing to be shorted together to complete the circuit, but can anyone confirm this? If so, which two wires (color)? Thanks in advance for any/all help!

Pull the plug - I mounted a switch there - see mods in sgi, but WTF did you accept the car in this condition?

I didn't drive the car off the lot from the body shop, so I didn't see it until last night. I'm gonna get it back to the shop, but need a temporary fix. Is it a matter of making the citcuit complete, and if so, do you remember the color of the 2 wires? Thanks!
