R56 Rear hatch randomly unlatching

Rear hatch randomly unlatching
Have some phantom rear hatch unlatching issues.
The previous owner had some issues with it as well. Only now it has gotten to the point that I can not start the car without it unlatching on it's own.
Here is what I've done so far:
The previous owner installed his own button. That was connected to the red and white wires.
What else would be sending a signal to unlatch the rear hatch?
Does anyone know where I can find a wiring schematic or at least what wire colors do what?
The brown wire (with the white pigtail) seems to be ground.
Not sure about the Blue w/ red stripe (red pigtail) is ?
Side note: Does the Bentley manual show wiring schematics and what not? It has been sitting in my cart for awhile now.

Here is what I've done so far:
- Replaced the latch with new from ECS.
- Disconnected the unlatch button.
- Tried a different key fob.
- Had the footwell module and CAS units tested. Both came back with a clean bill of health.

I've had the same problem with my 2013 R56S almost since day 1. Unfortunately, even the stealership has been unable to duplicate or solve it. It doesn't happen nearly as often now as it used to, but it still occurs occasionally. Several times, I've actually heard it unlatch while sitting in the car with the engine shut off.
It only seems to happen when the key fob is in the dash, which makes me wonder if something is pressing on the trunk unlatch button, although I've never been able to find anything.
