You're welcome.
One tip I forgot to mention and that's checking the ground connections in the hinges, which often break, even before the harness wires. The chassis ground for the tailgate electricals is a black wire riveted to each side of the hinge. If both break, you can lose the electricals. If one breaks, best to make an attempt to mend it before the second breaks. You can try pinching/chiselling the rivet studs more narrow to get the tab off and then flare them back down over a new crimp round terminal. Alternatively, just bare the wire near the tabs and use crimps, like little copper ferrels, not long barrel crimps. You can try black wire, maybe 14-16 guage stranded of the best quality you can find used by the pros, but better yet is the test lead wire as I mentioned (which is what I bought it for). Or try using braided wire which at one point I think Volvo used. Braided copper wire of assorted widths is sold in small coils for solder removal and is one possible option if you can't find steel braid, preferably stainless.
