Disconnecting the connector

Prepare everything you need for installation, include the module, the harness and a couple of zip ties.

There are two connectors under the panel, light gray and dark gray.

Disconnect two connectors by pushing on the top and pulling on the connector backwards.

The module wires will be connected on the side which run towards the headliner, we need to disconnect them from the roof. To do this we need to push on this black tab upwards and the connector will disconnect from the roof for both of the connectors.

Unpack the wire

The yellow wire of the module will be connected to pin 11 on the connector the blue wire will be connected to pin6 of the same light gray connector.

Use a zip tie as close as possible to the connector tighten.

The black wire of the module will go to pin9 and the white wire will go to pin 10 on dark gray connector

Same use zip tie to tighten it

Four module wires plug in the module.

Reattach the connectors to the roof.

Check the operation of the module

Module operation on vehicles equipped with electric power tailgate.

Long press on remote or inside car will open the tailgate.

Long press on remote or inside car will close the tailgate.

 

Please note:

When closing the tailgate using your remote or inside buttons there is a three seconds delay before the module closes the tailgate.

The three seconds delay is needed in order to properly close the tailgate when in an instance the tailgate was fully open. So the tailgate first opens completely and then closes.

You need to remember this when you have low clearance above the tailgate(example low ceiling in garage) and you had to stop the tailgate in not fully open position.

Assemble everything back in reverse order.
