Step 5: Wiring (there are multiple ways to run the wiring this is one suggestion)
Route the bullet connector side of the short wiring harness through one of the drain holes at the bottom of the tailgate up to the power lock
assembly. Connect it to the bullet connectors of the power unit.
Secure the wire with cable ties to prevent the wire from getting pinched
or in the way of the latch rods. Connect the other end to the long wire harness. Locate this connector under the truck so that it is
accessible for tailgate removal. Run the long wiring cable along the factory wire harness to under the cab and secure with cable ties.
For 2-Door and Access cab models the wire will be tied into either side kick panel (the plastic cover next to where your feet go). For 4-
Door models the wire can be tied into either side front step plate (the plastic trim along the floor as you step into the truck). Run the wire
into the cab using one of the factory’s rubber grommets in either the firewall or along the floor pan. Cut a small slit in the grommet or
run the wire next to the grommet to allow the wire to pass through. It is recommended to seal around wire to prevent moisture from entering
the cab. Run the wire out of view and to the place where it is going to get connected. For 2005 and 2006 2-Door models locate the blue and
blue with a white stripe wire.
For 2005 and 2006 4-Door models locate the blue and blue with pink stripe wire. For 2007 and up all models
locate the Blue with a black stripe and the blue with light red stripe wire. Use the supplied
wire taps to connect to theses two wires
. At
this point it doesn’t matter which wire is tapped to the OEM wires. Test the operation
of the lock (if the tailgate lock works opposite of
the door locks, disconnect the two bullet connectors back by the power lock assembly, switch the leads of the wires, and reconnect the
bullet connectors. This will make the lock the same as the doors). Secure all the wiring and replace the removed trim pieces.
