This is a hand-drawn/computer-drawn wiring diagram titled "87-96 Ford Bronco tailgate window power wiring diagram," credited to Ed Huggler II. It illustrates the power tailgate window circuit for 1987–1996 Ford Broncos. The diagram shows two circuit breakers (labeled #14 and #12) feeding the system: breaker #14 supplies the up/down relays via a blue wire, while breaker #12 feeds the tailgate key switch, which contains the Down button and Up button contacts. From the key switch, an orange/tan wire leads to the Down relay and a pink wire leads to the Up relay, both located at the upper right of the diagram, with heavy black wires from the relays going to Ground. Power to the window motor passes through the tailgate latch switch (a safety interlock), with yellow and red/orange wires connecting the key switch, latch switch, and window motor. A reader can learn the overall circuit topology — how the key switch, latch switch, relays, breakers, and motor interconnect — and the general color coding of the wires as drawn, which is useful for diagnosing a non-working tailgate window on these trucks.
