Pace-Edwards PowerGate LK280 Chevy _ GMC Full Size (2007-2010) - Manual (Page 2)

STEP 4 : REINSTALL THE BEZEL AROUND THE TAILGATE HANDLE
Mount the bezel by pushing its clips back into the tailgate.
(Figure 7)
Install the bottom bolt into the tailgate, it screws into the bezel.
Tighten all bolts securely.
STEP 3 : ROUTE AND CONNECT THE WIRE HARNESSES
Plug the long wire harness into the short tailgate harness near the tailgate. Run the harness along the frame of the
truck and up to the fi re wall. Secure the harness with the wire ties provided. Avoid all hot surfaces or pinch points
while routing the wire harness.
Plug the Blue and Green wires from the Relay harness into the Black and White wires from the long harness. Secure
the Relay haness with the wire ties in the engine compartment where necessary.
Attach the red wire from the Relay harness to the 12v positive side of the truck battery and the black wire from the
Relay harness to the ground.
Route the Violet and Grey wires from the Relay harness through the fi rewall on the drivers side of the engine
compartment. (Taping the wire with electrical tape to a coat hanger works well for pulling the wire through when
necessary. Try to follow OEM wire routes
whenever possible).
Remove the driver side door panel. Figure
2 (Auto parts stores offer a door panel
removal tool that helps make this easier)
Route the Violet and Grey relay harness
through the rubber wiring boot going to the
drivers door. Figure 3 (Again taping the
wire to a coat hanger works well for this).
Locate the Violet and Tan door lock wires in
the main door wire bundle running from the
door lock to the door lock switch. Figure 4
This wire bundle has two tan wires, you
will need to determine which of the tan
wires you need to use. Attach a T-Tap to
the Violet wire and the other T-Tap to one
of the tan wires. Plug the Violet and Grey
harness wires into the T-Taps and operate
the lock switch. If the lock operates in one
direction only you will need to move to the
other tan wire and test again. The tailgate
lock should work at this time.
Operate the tailgate lock prior to re-
installing your door panel. If the tailgate
locks in the opposite direction as the door
switch, reverse the violet and grey harness
wires plugged into the T-Taps to change
the direction. (Figure 5 & 6)
Re-install the drivers side door panel at
this time.
