Ford Bronco Tailgate Power Window Re-Wire Diagram - Relays, 20A Fuse, Wire Colors
FordFuelInjection.com tailgate power-window wiring diagram (Ryan McCormick 2003) showing master and key-operated tailgate switches, two relays, the window motor and tailgate latch switch with wire colors.
This document is a color-coded wiring diagram (credited "Copyright 2003 Ryan McCormick @ FordFuelInjection.com") showing a re-wired Ford tailgate power window circuit, uploaded as applying to a 1986 Ford Bronco. The circuit begins at a battery-hot feed protected by a 20 amp fuse using 10 gauge or larger wire (LB/BK wire color). Power feeds the master tailgate window switch (with UP and DOWN positions), which is grounded via a BK wire to ground point G701. The master switch outputs P/LG and P/LB wires that trigger two standard five-terminal relays (terminals 30, 85, 86, 87, 87a). The relays switch heavy 10 gauge power feeds down to the tailgate window switch, which is key operated, via P/LG, BK/W, and P/LB wires. From the key switch, a Y/R wire and a T/BK wire route to the tailgate power window motor, with the down-circuit passing through the tailgate latch switch (open when the tailgate is not fully closed) and returning via an R/Y wire. A reader can learn the complete wire color codes, fuse rating, recommended wire gauge, relay pin assignments, and the interlock function of the latch switch for upgrading or repairing a Bronco tailgate window circuit.

Frequently asked questions
- What size fuse and wire does the re-wired tailgate window circuit use?
- The battery-hot feed uses a 20 Amp fuse with 10 gauge or larger wire, and several power runs in the diagram are labeled 10Ga.
- What relay terminals are used in this tailgate window wiring?
- Two standard relays are shown with terminals 30, 85, 86, 87, and 87a.
- What wire colors connect to the tailgate window switch?
- The key-operated tailgate window switch connects via P/LG, BK/W, and P/LB wires, with Y/R and T/BK wires going toward the tailgate power window motor circuit.
- What does the tailgate latch switch do in this circuit?
- The tailgate latch switch is open when the tailgate is not fully closed; it is wired in the motor circuit (R/Y wire) so the window operates only with the tailgate fully closed.
- Where does the master tailgate window switch ground?
- The master tailgate window switch grounds through a BK wire to ground point G701.
