INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
LK 170
STEP 1 : INSTALL POWERGATE
!! NOTE: BE SURE TO PROTECT ALL PAINTED SURFACES OF THE TRUCK !!
With the tailgate open, remove the screws from the tailgate access panel using a #10 Torx driver. Remove the two (8mm)
nuts that hold the handle assembly. Install PowerGate™ lock through the tailgate opening and over the studs of the handle
assembly. Replace 8mm 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.)
