Default Added my own power tailgate lock

I had a eBay actuator in my tailgate for about 2 years and it finally crapped out. I ended up going with the Pop&Lock kit only due to it being built exactly for the truck and made installation much easier. I have mine tapped into the harness on the passenger side floor board but it unlocks with the drivers door. Which wire do I need to connect to so it works with hitting the button on the key fob twice?

I have a 2 year old and a 2 month old, so having to turn the truck off to unlock the tailgate was a pita. With our record heat this year I didn't want to turn off the a/c even for a few seconds.

Provided you have the system set to open driver door on one click and twice for all other doors, just tap into one of the other doors wiring, here's a diagram.

EDIT: For 2013 only! Can't say if other years are the same.

I'm not sure. I didn't swap to the passenger door locks bc I was too lazy.

Rnl, that's great!!!
So tapping into the Violet/Grey on the Pass side should be the (+) one to work on the two step unlock then?


EDIT : I think that's ONLY front door Schematic, now I look a little better, correct?
Would you have a schematic showing the rear doors for a 'Screw? It might be easier finding the those colored wires under the door sill plate for us 'Screw owners to tap into easier.

Thanks.

Revised original post to include screw rear door lock wiring.


NOTE: Those are for a 2013, don't know if other years are the same.
