After researching, looking around, etc. I have decided to move forward with my Remote hatch release project to use my recently installed remote lock/unlock unit which has output for trunk release.
Here are the parts to be used:
$45 shipped. Could have gotten a few $ cheaper but this one said would be delivered by this Saturday.
Heavy Duty 2" Inch Linear Actuator Stroke
And two of these from Amazon, $13 each
Directed Electronics Inc 528T 12v Accessory Pulse Timer
What I am going to do is mount the linear actuator in the area where the arrow is pointing to. The signal from the remote unit will go to one of the 528T relays with it set to send power to the actuator, and retract it, for XX seconds, time to be determined. This will pull on the same cable as the manual handle. Then the other 528T relay will wait 30 seconds (maybe less) and send power to the actuator for XX seconds to expand it. This will leave the manual option in place and functional.
will post my progress this weekend.
