20. Once the wiring and connectors are removed from inside the tailgate, remove the third brake light

wiring and connector from the short piece of loom.

21. Brake light connector can now be disassembled.

Note the location of the wires before removal.

Holding the third brake light connector, carefully pull out on the two white tabs of the terminal lock

that are on each side of the connector and push them into the grey connector. With a small

screwdriver pry the terminal lock out of the connector. This will now allow both terminals and wires

to be removed from the connector. Set the terminal lock aside it will be reused a little later.

22. With the terminal lock removed you can now remove the two wires and terminals. Using a paper clip,

slide it under the wire and push in. It will feel like it snaps in place when pushed all the way in.

Holding both the wire and paper clip, pull them both out of the connector. Do the same with the

other wire.

23. Carefully pull the 2 wires all the way through the insulator. It is recommended that these wires be

wrapped in electrical tape to better protect them from weathering and becoming worn. Then wrap

them with Wire Loom (#30).
