A band of electrical gremlins nested in my car

So after changing the clutch and generally making my car happy, I parked it overnight on the streets in SF and whaddya know. My car gets infested with electrical gremlins. I come out in the morning after it was raining all night to find the spoiler up, windows down and battery dead.

After a jump I was able to get home however going down the freeway my friend told me that my tail lights were blinking (lights were off), the reverse lights went on, and at one point the top tried to cycle open or closed. This is accompanied by warning beeps more or less constantly.

I make it home and try to put the battery on charge and my charger does not seem to want to charge it. So I figure that it may be Optima induced gremlins so out it goes and in went a brand new Bosch battery, No change...

I hooked up my Durametric and after some digging around it appears the rear control module is malfunctioning. At the moment I can't even open the rear trunk. Not with the key or the button.

So now I need to find out where the rear control module is located and whether or not its the module itself or a cut wire or what. Anyone have any experience or first things to check?
