The demons have been defeated. Problem wound up being broken wires in the rear hatch (the patient is an "Avant") hinge area. Repaired the broken wires (small butt splices seemed to do the trick), reset the Central Lock/Alarm Controller, and reprogrammed the IR key. The clue was the locks would actuate when moving the rear hatch (up or down). Peeled away the rubber "strain relief" and low and behold, broken wahrs. The tip of broken wires in the door was spot on, just had to find the right "door" (in this case hatch). I hope this follow up with the "fix" might help someone in the future. Thanks to all who helped on this one!
