How do i get the new wire through the fire wall? There seems to be a rubber boot of sorts around the wires being passed on both sides of the fire wall. Do I have to remove that rubber boot? I tried to take it off but I had no room to mess with it and it was rather stuborn.

That would be P100 that you were asking about. Go from the inside of the car and push a piece of mechanics wire through the rubber grommet, wrap the new wire around the mechanics wire and pull it through to the inside of the car.

Do i need to take that rubber "boot" thing off first?

I finally got the car all put back together yesterday. Everything is up and running now and the trunk button works! Thanks everyone for all of your input! Couldn't have done it without you!

For anyone that reads this in the furture:
I was able to run the wire through the firewall through the same hole on the passenger side of the car were the rest of the wires pass through. If, from the inside of the car, you pull a little bit on the wires that are passing through the firewall, a little foam pad that surrounds the wires will become loose. Once loose, I removed that foam pad. I then took a coat hanger, straitened the hanger and then bent it in half. I then pushed the bent end of the hanger through the firewall right along with the rest of the bunch of wires. I pushed the wire all the way through the rubber boot on the engine compartment side of the car. Once pushed through, I ran the electrical wire through the coat hanger just like threading a needle. After that I pulled the hanger back into the inside of the car and bam, the wire was ran through the fire wall. I then soldered both ends, wrapped the wire with electrical tape and I was finished.

Hope this helps some people in the future!

Thanks again everyone!
