Hatch Latch Not Working (Electrical Problem)

I'm having a weird issue with my 2000 GS rear hatch release. It quit on me out of the blue. I've done a lot of testing and narrowed down the problem.

The issue is that the orange wire that goes to the hatch relay is not getting power like it should when the car is unlocked. Everything else works fine. The relay gets constant power, ground when the latch switch is pressed, and outputs power to the actuator just fine. The orange wire that should be getting power only when the car is unlocked just isn't.

If I bridge the constant power and switched power pins of the relay everything works fine except the hatch opens when the car is locked and sets off the alarm.

Any ideas on why the orange wire going to the switched power pin of the relay is not getting power when the car is unlocked? Any help is appreciated. Thank you!
