INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
LK160-12/05
STEP 1: Install PowerGate™
With the tailgate open, remove the screws from the tailgate access panel using a #30 Torx driver. Remove the two
(10mm) nuts that hold the handle assembly. Install PowerGate™ lock through the tailgate opening and over the
studs of the handle assembly. Replace 10mm nuts and tighten. Slide lock bolt with your fi ngers to see that there is
no interference and that the bolt locks the handle. Adjust if necessary.
STEP 2: Route Wire Harness & Relay Loom Wires
Route the short wire harness through the drain hole in the bottom of tailgate and connect it to PowerGate. Plug
the long wire harness to the short wire harness. Route the long wire harness underneath the driver’s side of the
truck to the fi rewall.
Using the Relay Loom on the drivers side of the engine compartment thread the purple and gray wire loom
through the fi re wall of the truck. (Try to follow OEM wire routes whenever possible.)
STEP 3: Locate and Connect Wires
2002 Ram 1500 & 2003 RAM
Locate the tan w/pink and solid blue wires on the driver’s side under the dash by the parking brake pedal.
2004-2006 RAM
Locate the Tan w/light green and Lime Green wires on the driver’s side under the dash by the parking brake
pedal.
Install one blue wiretap on each of the two wires indicated above. Plug the purple and gray wires to the wire taps.
Return to the engine compartment and plug the long wire harness from the PowerGate unit to the Relay loom with
the green and blue wires. (Testing will be done later to insure appropriate connections)
Inside the engine compartment locate the positive post next to the fuse panel on the fender well. Open the cap for
the positive post, remove the nut and slip the red wire with the fuse holder on that post. Re-install the nut and close
the cap. Find the ground-wire bolt on the driver side fender well and remove it. Install the black wire to the ground-
wire bolt and make sure you get all of the black ground wires that were there when you started, re-install the bolt.
Return to the cab and make sure the door locks and tailgate lock work. Test the lock by locking and unlocking
your power door locks. If the lock/unlock direction of the PowerGate does not correspond with the direction of
your door locks then switch the purple and gray loom wires where they are attached to the door lock wires and
test again.
STEP 4: Secure Wires
Install tailgate access panel. Secure all wires with wire ties provided so that there are no loose, dangling ends.
