Wagon Tailgate Wiring 200 1986

The best way to to remove the tailgate, make sure to mark with a Sharpie the location of the Brackets on the roof.

The liner looks much harder than it is. The liner just unclips because it has a spring that runs along the edge, just pull it back and you will see the bolts holding on the roof hinges. You just clip it back up when you are finished. I used Telfon wire and spiced out both harnesses. You can find ones with the plugs online a couple of places for a resonable price, but I needed the center light fixed so I could pass the state inspection and did the hard way. It was a two hour job when I did mine. But I already had the butt splices and experiance doing splices. Keep the wire size down to the same as the wires you cut out. Did mine over five years ago and have had zero problems.

Just remember to mark the roof hinges, hard to line the tailgate back up without them. I know, found that tip after the job and five or six tries before the gate line up just right.

Good Bricking,
