Wagon Tailgate Wiring 200 1986

posted by  someone claiming to be Kyle245 on  Tue Nov 22 06:39 CST 2005 [RELATED]

I did the rewire out of the hinges also. I didn't go by the directions but I did mine in a similar fashion. I made a harness using the excisting wires in the tailgate. I did have to put a 1" hole at the top of the tailgate and in the back interior near the headliner and used rubber grommets and some plastic flex wrap where the wires were routed. I made the harness in the tailgate long enough to go all the way up and over into the main body and soldered the wires together behind the headliner. Inside the tailgate, I used some plastic wire clamps with an eye and fastened the harness to the backside of the license plate bracket mounting nuts to hold the harness away from the moving rear wiper. Its not noticable unless you are a diehard purist that doesn't like to modify the original design. It has never failed in over three years. If you do this, be sure to seal the holes in the tailgate hinges with some silicone sealant.
