If the wire map is not in this thread its in the other one. Power lift gate DIY possible?
I found it earlier in this thread. Thanks!
I'm proud to report, i successfully installed this! Thanks to everybody here, especially AMPUP and BigTonyTones, for the initial legwork and invaluable tutorials. This is by far the best, most practical, and most reasonably priced upgrade for the non-tech package/non premium interior upgrade owners.
I personally, for whatever reason, had the most trouble getting the power wire up through the headliner to the hatch. There's just not a lot of space and for me it seemed to require pulling wire at odd angles. I'm sure there was an easier way but I struggled.
The yellow wire for the OBD was confusing. I didn't realize at first it wasn't used.
The infamous large rear hatch piece was surprisingly not horrible for me. I did have my wife help and we just ran the button through the right pull cup hole. I held the piece in place while she plugged in the trunk light. Then we lined up and pushed in the two clips closest to the pull cups. I jumped in the hatch from there and made sure the upper most clips on the opposite end of the pull cups were aligned and started gently pushing up from the middle to get the rest of the in place. I know we didn't get them all back in, but I can live with it. It seems secure enough, but if I hear too much rattling I'll pull them off and try again.
Extra clips are a must!
Anyway, great thread and product! Thanks again.
If someone isn't comfortable doing this but wants the upgrade, a skilled audio shop could do this pretty easily. Just show them this great thread.
