The harness for the rear brakes goes to a yellow connector that is on the left side firewall in the trunk. If you are running wires for the rear camera, this is a good time to get a look at it anyway.
Just pull the trunk liner away from the firewall and you'll see three or four large rectangular connectors together in the left corner. It's kind of a pain to get them separated and access the pins, but it is 'cleanest' way to replace the harness.
I'll try to get pics and remove the harness tonight.

Thank you, I'v been working on this car non-stop for the last few months, (thank god for Quickjack) and I think I'm just going to leave it alone until the light comes back on. Since it seems to be a pinched wire, it will probably come back on but we'll see.
I bought a de-pin kit just in case it comes back on in the future.
