STEP 1 - Lower the tailgate. Remove the four Phillips head screws from the top trim, slide the
trim to the right (passenger) side using a rubber mallet and lift to remove it. Apply downward
pressure on the top trim if it bows up. Remove the white clips that remain on the tailgate by
turning them 45 degrees to pull out. NOTE THE ORIENTATION BEFORE REMOVEL.
Remove the T40 torx screws holding the interior trim panel and lift it off.
STEP 2 - Remove the handle rod from mechanicals by turning the green rod clip and
pulling the rod out of the clip. Swing the rod up and out of the way. Remove the two
screws holding the factory handle in place; there are tabs that will hold the handle
from falling out of the tailgate, but for extra assurance hold the handle in place so not
let the handle to fall. Install the mounting bracket over the back side of the handle and
reinstall the two screws and tighten. You may need to file the washer down go get the
bolt to fit. Reinstall the handle rod. The handle should now look like picture.
STEP 3 – Using the bracket holes as a template drill the two 3/16” (or 5MM) holes
and one 1/2" (or 12MM) hole. Insert the lock assembly from the front of the bezel
inserting the shaft through the 1/2" hole and aligning the two mounting holes on the
bezel with the mounting bracket. Insert the 2 supplied 8-32 x 1 1/2" screws
through the mounting bracket in the bezel. Tighten the screws. DO NOT OVER
TIGHTEN. IF LOCK ASSEMBLY BINDS LOOSEN SCREWS UNTIL THE
KEY MOVES FREELY!
STEP 4 – Remove the two mechanical assemble screws. Mount the POP N LOCK
bolt linkage under the upper latch rod as shown using the existing two mechanical
assemble screws. The lock assembly should look like picture.
STEP 6 – Check the functioning of the lock.
STEP 5 – Install the crank rod assembly by holing the slotted end onto the bolt linkage and the
square hole to the end of the lock assembly shaft. Insert the 1/4" x 20 x 2” screw into the shaft and
tighten.

two o’clock position and then back to 12 o’clock to lock.

ten o’clock position and then back to 12 o’clock to

STEP 7 – Remove the driver side lower mechanical assembly screw.
Hook the end of the slide bolt onto the t-post of the lock bolt linkage
and turn to position shown in the picture to the upper left. Hook the
white plastic hook of the actuator onto the slide bolt and rock the
actuator into place making sure the bolt end goes under and the slide
bolt goes above the latch rod as shown in the picture to the upper right
and lower center. Reinstall the driver side lower mechanical assembly
screw and tighten. Gently slide the slide bolt to the lock and unlock
position to verify function of lock.
STEP 8 – Wiring (there are other ways to run the wiring this is one way) – Snake the short wiring cable up the tailgate through the
driver side drain hole and connect it to the bullet connectors of the power unit. Secure with cable ties to prevent the wire from
getting pinched or in the way of the latch rods. Connect the other end to the long wiring cable. Locate this connector under the
truck so that it is accessible for tailgate removal. Run the long wiring cable along the factory wire harness to the engine
compartment securing it with cable ties. Snake it into the driver’s compartment using the rubber grommet in the firewall that the
factory wire harness run through from the fuse box. Remove the driver side kick panel and run the wire down into the driver side
kick panel. The lock and unlock wires are located in the fuse box area under the kick panel. The wire colors are yellow with a black
stripe (lock) and the yellow with a green stripe (unlock) wires. Use the two wire taps to connect to these two wires. Test the
operation of the lock (if the tailgate lock works in the opposite direction as the door locks, disconnect the bullet connectors off the
actuator and switch the wires that they were plugged into and plug back together). Secure all the wiring and replace the kick panel.
STEP 9 – Replace the interior trim panel of the tailgate using the torx screws removed in Step 1. Replace the white top trim clips
onto the trim cap, making sure they are oriented as noted in Step 1. Carefully locate the top trim over the holes in the tailgate and
press it firmly until they snap into place. Reinstall the four Phillips Head screws.
