I replaced the 75 amp fusible link after it popped the one time. I have all the fuses out except the 10 amp “ROOM LAMP”.I suspect you are 100% right. The wiring in the "hatch harness" is my number one area of suspicion. That Hatch has opened and closed so many times. The car has spent every night in the garage since new.
I will fix this with my trusty JOHN FLUKE meter and the FSM. Thanks for your input.

Check the wiring where it goes into the hatch through the rubber boots in the corners as well. Those wires ALWAYS break, I've seen it a million times. Usually the 3rd brake light and the rear defroster just stop working but it's completely possible, and probable, for there to be a short there. That would make sense since you say it doesn't short untill you open the hatch. Good luck man, it seems like you're on the right track.
PS: I get it, you've got a fluke DVOM. Jeez, take it easy! LOL!
