Good To Know

Q: Will this harness fix a tailgate that won't open? A: If the fault is a broken wire or poor connection at the handle jumper, replacing the harness often restores full function.

Q: Is any programming required after installation? A: No programming is needed; this is a passive wiring harness that simply connects the handle switch to the truck’s existing circuit.
