Topic: ? Step by Step on how to install a power tailgate lock ?

[BNASTY]

I was fortunate enough to get a power lock actuator from Jeff, the Eye Doc, at Bratfest and now I'm trying to find
a tutorial on how to install it.  I did see Blue has a great write up on the saddle bag locks but can't find the tailgate post.

Any help would be appreciated.

Don't know if it is the same lock I have, but when I get home I will dig out the directions for doing mine.

Thanks for everyone looking, I was able to find a link to some instructions.

I think I can dumb my way through this even if its not identical parts.

( I may have to make a custom key lock bracket? )

I've been wanting to also do a writeup for the tailgate but I've been putting it in the back burner.  Avpowerlocks.com should have it.

Contact Steve at powerlocks and see if it's some special piece to go there. He's a great guy and I'm sure he'll steer you in the right direction.

When I bought my tailgate lock, it didn't have the key lockunlock feature. The saddlebags do though but I bought them at a later date.

I noticed that piece on the AVpowerlock site sold separately for $25 

don't seem to be enough material there for TWENTY FIVE DOLLARS. 

I'll try to make my own, and then buy one if it does not go well.

That's not the price for my fellow club members. PM me if you want one, and I can send you the tailgate power lock install instructions if you want them too (no charge for that of course)

Later

EDIT: I forgot the instructions are on the website

Youda man Cuda.

Somehow I missed you were the one with the kits.  That's what happens when you sit in the back of the classroom all your life. 

Sending you a PM soon,

Thanks,
