Message: <blockquote data-quote="Thomas Rogers" data-source="post: 541617" data-attributes="member: 60724">No, Tabjo, I didn't add the quick disconnect connectors, however, I plan to add that later if/when I ever take the tailgate off as I left about 8-10" of wire coiled up in the tailgate (looped and held in place in the inner wall with some electrical tape) so I can just pull that out and have more than enough to play with to add the connectors.Part of the reason I didn't add them is because I doubt I will ever remove the tailgate, and the other reasons were that I was tiring of the project after all the fiddling to get the mechanism to work right, and third, I didn't want to have exposed connectors near the exposed pivot point of the tailgate (though I guess I could try to cover them with something).Oh, and I did use 1/4" wire loom all the way from inside the door post, through the truck underside and into the tailgate.  I had to buy the loom off eBay because all the local shops only had 3/8" as their smallest diameter...and their prices were gawd-awful high anyway.  I used long ties to hold the loom to the frame, making sure not to rest it on anything that vibrates or moves (bumper stop, muffler hanger, etc).So far I am loving it.  It was raining Saturday afternoon, so it was the perfect, small, garage project.TJR</blockquote>
