Use a multimeter, hook up the positive lead to a known 12v source and hook up the negative probe to the suspected earth/ground wire. If you get 12 volts shown on the meter then you found it, if not then try again.

Ya I know that, that was an answer I posted to another question and somehow it found its way into two other topics and not in the topic I posted it in. Its really strange, however I cannot help you with you question because I quite simply have no clue how to do it with out the deck being on whenever the door is closed. Unless mabye you could use a latching relay?

DEI makes a latching relay module that might do the trick...611T is the part number ( i think )
