3. Just inside the small vertical cover, nd
the small rectangular plug where the Jeep’s
OE third brake light wiring connects to the
chassis harness. Unplug the OE third brake
light wiring if it is present. The OE third brake
light should also be removed, if still present
(instructions for doing so are not included
here).
4. Inside the Jeep, peel back the carpet at
the rear passenger side corner of the Jeep’s
interior, to expose the areas where the wiring
from the tailgate runs. On some Jeeps there
may be a speaker enclosure which will have
to be removed to gain access.

6. Where the tailgate wiring transitions from
the tailgate to the Jeep’s body, it passes
throughaexiblesheathofnylonwebbing.
Both ends of the sheath are secured by plastic
zip style wire loom holders. These may be
released by using a pick to carefully depress
the small tang inside the zip housing, and
pulling on the strap. Each end of the sheath
is also secured to the wires with electrical
tape, which will also need to be removed so
that both ends of the sheath are open.

5. Follow the wiring from the tailgate up into
the corner of the Jeep’s interior, to where it
passes through the body tub with a rubber
grommet. Grip the grommet along the edges
to dislodge it, then pull it and the taillight
connector plug through the hole into the
Jeep’s interior.

8. Insert the other end of the air hose into the
open end of the nylon wire sheath, from the
tailgate end. Push it through the sheath until
it comes out the other end, then grip the hose
and pull it, along with the brake light jumper
wire, through the sheath. After a few inches
of the jumper wire are through the sheath,
gently remove the air hose from the end of
the wire.
FIGURE 9
9. The pin end of the brake light jumper wire
must now be passed through the rubber
grommet alongside the OE taillight wiring.
Be sure you are passing the wire through in
the correct direction. A squirt of WD-40 into
the narrow neck of the grommet will help it
pass through easily.
FIGURE 10
10. Pull enough of the jumper wire through the
grommet that it can reach the OE taillight
plug. Then push the taillight plug and the
end of the jumper wire back through the hole
in the body tub, into the cavity behind the
taillight, and press the grommet back into
place.
FIGURE 11
11. Route the other end of the brake light
jumper wire alongside the existing wiring
harness across the tailgate. Either coil it
around the existing wiring or use zip-ties to
hold it in place.
12. The square plug on the end of the jumper
wire is passed through the hole in the

sheet metal to the interior of the tailgate,
then plugged into the OE third brake light
receptacle.
13. Follow along the length of the jumper wire
making sure it is secured in place. Used zipties wherever needed. Use black electrical
tape to re-tape the ends of the nylon webbing
sheath where the wiring jumps from the
tailgate to the Jeep’s body. Re-close the
wire holders at either end of the nylon sheath
to lock it and the wiring harness in place.
14. Put the carpet back into place in the interior
corner of the Jeep, then reinstall both plastic
covers on the tailgate.

16. Observe the back of the OE taillight
connector, where there are six pin slots but
wires going into only four of them. The empty
corner slot is the one we are going to use.
Down inside the slot is a small rubber plug
that was inserted at the factory to keep the
elements out. Use small needle-nose pliers
to grip the nub on the end of the plug and
pull it out.
FIGURE 14
15. Close the tailgate and move back to the
taillight location. Reach inside the taillight
hole and pull out the OE taillight connector
and the pinned end of the brake light jumper
wire. Inside the open end of the taillight
connector is a white plastic pin lock, which
needs to be removed. There is a small slot
on one side, where it can be gripped with a
90-degree pick and pulled out.

17. Observe the pin on the end of the brake
light jumper wire. Note there is a small metal
tang, or tab, protruding from one side of the
pin. This tang should be oriented away from
the wire in the adjacent slot, as the pin is
inserted into the empty corner slot in the back
of the plug. Push the pin into the connector
until it locks into place.

the wiring lead along its path. Make sure it
has enough slack at the tire carrier hinge to
provide for full movement of the tire carrier.
