    Just installed on my pickup. Haven't commented on a video, but specifying which wires to tap into and where you ran wiring saved me a headache. Really appreciate it!

    Thanks for the video. I installed this on a 2020 frontier. Did it the exact same way and it worked without any issues.

      Thanks for the heads up! Turning the tailgate lock with the slide out key from the ‘20 keyfobs is unergonamically annoying. Good to know this kit will work!

    I installed this same power lock system and your video helped a ton. I have a 2013 Pro4x i bought and never noticed that my key didn't work or lock was damaged. Love how it feels to have my box of toos, change of clothes and harness safety locked up.

    Cheers for this brief and concise video. In the first three minutes, I figured out what was the problem and got my tailgate lock re-secured so it would again lock. GREAT VID!

    Thanks Matt! You inspired me to install it on my 2012 SL and it’s worked like a charm. Your video was so straightforward and informative, I gained a lot of confidence to do it myself. I’m not an experienced mechanic and my installation skills are novice at best so I was proud when it all came together. I even routed a wire to install a backup camera at the same time (since they’re routed the same way up through the floor by the B pillar) which I’ll install in a new car stereo. Great fun and functional too. Wouldn’t have done it without you.

      How did you get the wires from the hole on the bottom to under the seat? I can't seem to find that under the seat, only what look like long rubber pieces of insulation of some sort? And that underseat module looks like it may be right above that hole ?

    • @happyfrontier249
      @happyfrontier249 3 роки тому

      @@david_tryon I was wondering the same thing, and then I just decided to use a small flat-head screwdriver to poke a hole up through the sound-deadener material from the bottom. It went through pretty easily and broke right through the material on the inside under the seat. You don't want to poke up too far, just enough to break through; otherwise you'll gouge the insulation and carpet. Overall, it seems like a great spot to run the wires through.

    Those 3M Scotchloks have been nothing but the bane of my existence.
    The guillotine cuts the wires.
    The corrosion that starts makes "Higher than Normal" resistance that is sometimes hard to find.
    Vibration cuts more wires on the guillotine.
    A local boat trailer shop would always wire the trailer lights with these things. After a season of putting the boat in the water, the lights would stop working. The trailer shop would then charge to rewire the trailers ... with more of these damn things.
    I HATE THEM !!

      What do you normally do to splice cables? I would say solder, but that can be difficult in some locations. I don't think he has to worry about water, but I would wonder about a poor connection causing heat.
