Pop & Lock PL8662 - Manual (Page 2)

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 en-
gine 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 under the kick panel. The yellow with a black
stripe (lock) and the yellow with a green stripe (unlock) wires are in the small green plug that is located at the bottom front side
of the fuse box. Use the two blue wire taps to connect to theses two wires. Connect the male terminal ends of the long wire
harness to the blue tap connectors. Test the operation of the lock (if the tailgate lock works in the opposite direction as the door
locks un connect the male terminal and switch the wires that they were plugged into). Secure all the wiring and replace the kick
panel.
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 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 tailgate, making sure they are oriented as noted in Step 1. Carefully locate the top trim over the clips and press it
firmly into place. You will hear and feel them snap into place. Adjust the position of the top rim once again using a rubber mal-
let. Reinstall the four Phillips Head screws.
