STEP 1: Remove Handle Assembly

With the tailgate closed, remove the plastic bezel around the tailgate handle by pulling up and out on the bottom edge
with fi ngers. Remove three screws from the handle assembly inside the tailgate using a Torx T-40 driver . Let the handle
assembly drop down enough to rotate the plastic rod retainers so that the rods can be disconnected and removed.
Remove the handle assembly.

STEP 2: Install PowerGate™

Pull on the rods enough to open the tailgate. Route the short wire harness through the drain hole at the bottom of the
tailgate and up through the latch opening so that the black plug is outside and below the tailgate. Close the tailgate.
T emporarily bolt the handle assembly to the PowerGate. Install the aluminum lock block to the triangular shaped plate so
that when extended the stainless steel bolt will keep the handle from rotating. Remove the PowerGate from the handle
assembly, leaving the aluminum block in place. Connect the two wires in the tailgate to the two wires located on the
PowerGate motor. Insert the PowerGate and the handle assembly into the tailgate. Install three Torx screws through
the PowerGate and into the handle assembly and tighten. Slide the stainless steel bolt with your fi nger to insure the bolt
secures the handle assembly. Install the rods into the plastic rod retainers of the handle assembly.

STEP 3: Route Long Wire Harness, Relay Loom Wires and Connect Wires

Route the short wire harness through the drain hole in the bottom of tailgate and connect it to PowerGate. Plug the
long wire harness to the short wire harness. Route the long wire harness underneath the driver’s side of the truck to
the fi rewall. Using the Relay Loom on the drivers side of the engine compartment thread the purple and gray wire loom
through the fi re wall of the truck. (Try to follow OEM wire routes whenever possible.)

Aluminum Lock Block

Secure the wire, leaving enough wire in the tailgate and in the cab to make your connections. Locate the gray and tan
wires on the driver’s side behind the kick panel. Attach one blue wire tap to the gray and one blue wire tap to the tan.
Install one blue wiretap on each of the two wires indicated above. Plug the purple and gray wires to the wire taps. Return
to the engine compartment and plug the long wire harness from the PowerGate unit to the Relay loom with the green
and blue wires. (Testing will be done later to insure appropriate connections)

Inside the engine compartment locate the positive post next to the fuse panel on the fender well. Open the cap for the
positive post, remove the nut and slip the red wire with the fuse holder on that post. Re-install the nut and close the cap.
Find the ground-wire bolt on the driver side fender well and remove it. Install the black wire to the ground-wire bolt and
make sure you get all of the black ground wires that were there when you started, re-install the bolt.

Return to the cab and make sure the door locks and tailgate lock work. Test the lock by locking and unlocking your
power door locks. If the lock/unlock direction of the PowerGate does not correspond with the direction of your door
locks then switch the purple and gray loom wires where they are attached to the door lock wires and test again.

STEP 4: Secure Wires

Install the plastic bezel around the tailgate latch. Secure all wires with wire ties provided so that there are no loose,
dangling ends.
