Ok so my trunk wiring harness is busted and I had to break in with the screwdriver trick. While I was in there I decided to remove the latch (GNA3500AB) and found the manual lock rod dangling, which explains why it never worked.. Later I accidentally let the electric actuator rod slip off and forgot its position.

Which rod goes on top, which one goes on the bottom? Thanks

 

For future reference:

Manual lock rod goes on the bottom, electric actuator rod goes on top.
