sheet metal to the interior of the tailgate,

then plugged into the OE third brake light

receptacle.

13. Follow along the length of the jumper wire

making sure it is secured in place. Used zip-

ties wherever needed. Use black electrical

tape to re-tape the ends of the nylon webbing

sheath where the wiring jumps from the

tailgate to the Jeep’s body. Re-close the

wire holders at either end of the nylon sheath

to lock it and the wiring harness in place.

14. Put the carpet back into place in the interior

corner of the Jeep, then reinstall both plastic

covers on the tailgate.

15. Close the tailgate and move back to the

taillight location. Reach inside the taillight

hole and pull out the OE taillight connector

and the pinned end of the brake light jumper

wire. Inside the open end of the taillight

connector is a white plastic pin lock, which

needs to be removed. There is a small slot

on one side, where it can be gripped with a

90-degree pick and pulled out.

FIGURE 15

16. Observe the back of the OE taillight

connector, where there are six pin slots but

wires going into only four of them. The empty

corner slot is the one we are going to use.

Down inside the slot is a small rubber plug

that was inserted at the factory to keep the

elements out. Use small needle-nose pliers

to grip the nub on the end of the plug and

pull it out.

FIGURE 16

17. Observe the pin on the end of the brake

light jumper wire. Note there is a small metal

tang, or tab, protruding from one side of the

pin. This tang should be oriented away from

the wire in the adjacent slot, as the pin is

inserted into the empty corner slot in the back

of the plug. Push the pin into the connector

until it locks into place.
