Rear window stuck down

What started out as easy maintenance took a tailspin,,,

I was replacing me rear hatch switch because in the cold I had to squeeze it like Hercules to get it to open. I removed the switch only to find out that i was sent the wrong replacement. Days later when the replacement arrived I went to open the liftgate from the inside of the vehicle using the rear key insert (I was dumb and didn't realize you can't open the hatch with the rear key switch and the switch was hanging on the inside of the vehicle). Instead the rear window came down and knocked the lockset off of the switch... I fished it out and was lucky it didn't damage the glass.

Now my rear window will not go up. All the other windows work fine. I tried unplugging the rear ECU to reset it--no luck. When I press the window button on the FOB the vehicle beeps. fuses check good. I tried to manually turn the rear key switch (Not easy with the glass in the way) and it just locks and unlocks the doors.

Should I jump the motor to see if I can get the window back up?

Here's a wiring diagram in case others have to jump the motor like I did. Once the window was rolled up I was able to unplug the electrical connection to the rear barrel lock, reset the ECU and the window works fine.

Then I swapped out the rear hatch opening switch and it doesn't work. Do I need the barrel lock electrical connection installed for the rear hatch to open? I jumped the actuator and it's fine...

Anyone know the part number to the barrel lock electrical connector? My plastic tabs are broken off.
