    OEM Tailgate Switch...the final touch

    Using a small spade connector since I don't have the OEM pigtail. Just use one for 22 guage wire and crimp a bit to make them tight



    Wrap them in electical tape and insert them into the back of the switch. If you find Monchas' diagram the one marked RELAY is the hot lead and the one maked PIN SWITCH is the wire to the solenoid. Do not install this switch with using a relay as the switch will not handle power from a direct source I was told. Note the other spade connector in the photo and make sure that you use some insulated spade connectors near the switch in case you want to take the dash bezel out later. If you don't do this you'll be disconnecting your wires, wherever they may be, and that will be none too much fun...



    Wrap the tail of the switch good to keep the wires in place and install on the dash. I put mine next to the alarm light at the top.

    So now it's complete and it's even tied into my compuSTAR alarm remote..WooHoo!
