STEP 7 – Remove the driver side lower mechanical assembly screw.
Hook the end of the slide bolt onto the t-post of the lock bolt linkage
and turn to position shown in the picture to the upper left. Hook the
white plastic hook of the actuator onto the slide bolt and rock the
actuator into place making sure the bolt end goes under and the slide
bolt goes above the latch rod as shown in the picture to the upper right
and lower center. Reinstall the driver side lower mechanical assembly
screw and tighten. Gently slide the slide bolt to the lock and unlock
position to verify function of lock.
STEP 8 – Wiring (there are other ways to run the wiring this is one way) – Snake the short wiring cable up the tailgate through the
driver side drain hole and connect it to the bullet connectors of the power unit.
Secure 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 wiring cable. 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 the engine
compartment securing it with cable ties. Snake it into the driver’s compartment using the rubber grommet in the firewall that the
factory wire harness run through from the fuse box. Remove the driver side kick panel and run the wire down into the driver side
kick panel. The
lock and unlock wires are located in the fuse box area under the kick panel. The wire colors are yellow with a black
stripe (lock) and the yellow with a green stripe (unlock) wires. Use the two wire taps to connect to these two wires. Test the
operation of the lock (if the tailgate lock works in the opposite direction as the door locks, disconnect the bullet connectors off the
actuator and switch the wires that they were plugged into and plug back together). Secure all the wiring and replace the kick panel.
STEP 9 – Replace the interior trim panel of the tailgate using the torx screws removed in Step 1. Replace the white top trim clips
onto the trim cap, making sure they are oriented as noted in Step 1. Carefully locate the top trim over the holes in the tailgate and
press it firmly until they snap into place. Reinstall the four Phillips Head screws.
