Confuse on the wiring diagrams- tailgate constant power for keyed switch.

Post by BaldBeardedBastard »

Hey all- been running around in circles on this me tonight.

I am going through the electrical on my '86 GW, and I can't find the documentation for where the rear tailgate gets it constant 12v so you can raise/lower the glass with the key switch. I have been staring at the wiring diagrams and I feel like I am missing it with tired eyes. Any insight?

Thanks in advance. ImageImage

That C270 terminal sitting all alone about an inch to the left of the tailgate switch should be adjacent to and lining up with the arrow on the left edge of the switch. It provides the willy for the switch.

Ah you are awesome! I was staring at the wiring diagram last night too long and didn't see that.
