Title: Complete new wiring to tailgate
Post by: DazH on October 18, 2020, 09:22:59 AM
I’ve stripped the car to shell ready for the body shop , just seeing if there’s any tips when it’s comes to re feeding the wiring through to the tailgate- really not looking forward to that part 🤣

Take the connectors of the end.

Feed welding wire or similar through the tailgate first, the wire is easier to feed through. You can then tape the wires to the welding wire and pull through.
