tailgate wiring

The wiring runs down the L frame rail to the firewall connector, where it goes inside. One of the wires is continuous power from a fuse; another is for the defroster grid (if the truck had it originally); and the other 2 go to the dash switch, which has its own fuse on key-switched power.

The Haynes manual wiring diagrams show it.
