Default Why is this wire so critical? 2011 WK2 Laredo CRD

While doing mods to the trailer plug wiring I had to remove the whole rear compartment flooring to lift up the carpet. To remove the base I had to unplug a wire just next to the tail door catch. Later when the wiring was completed I tried to test if I had done everything correctly and attempted to start the car. Neither of my key fobs were recognized. After some initial panic I reconnected this plug and everything was fine. Tried it a second time and the car will not recognize the keys. Not even when inserted in the dash board! It would be a pretty effective security mod to fit a switch in the loom if the Canbus system doesn't have a heart attack. Anyone know what this wire is for? Seems to lead to a device just next to the latch that you lift the rear floor to access the spare wheel. Might be a key fob sensor/antenna? I've included a pic of it's location.

Maybe just part of the pci bus or whatever it's called. It uses the same wires to send all sorts of different signals throughout the car, so that a separate wire isn't needed for every single sensor and function. Means there're way less wires throughout the car but the downside is that if there's a faulty connection somewhere, it all stops working. Could be what you did there by disconnecting that wire

I think it's for the wireless key module
