Tailgate Switch Wiring Colors

These wires are not intended to be removed from the switches, and the switches are not intended to be removed from the mounting plates, so the t/g internal switch is essentially a part of the t/g wiring harness assembly.

When using the key to LIFT the glass, the Pu/LB wire provides ground thru the dash switch. When LOWERING, the Pu/LG wire provides ground.

To replace one or both, drill out the rivets and either cut the wires or break open the damaged switch to unhook them from it. Then mount the replacement switch & connect the wires. Bk/Wh goes to the COMmon terminal; the Pu/? wire goes to the NC terminal; the other (motor wire) to the NO terminal.
