I'm posting a solution to a problem that some might have. This probably won't interest all. This only applies to those with the remote tailgate release. I researched the 2017 Fusion BCM wiring for the trunk release and since they use similar components, found that there's an un-populated spot on the F150 BCM C2280B that crosses with the trunk release wiring of the Fusion.

This isn't an all-inclusive how-to, because there's about 90 different ways to run wire and make a button, so I'll just show you the harness to look for and the location on the BCM. The rest is up to you all. lol

Like I said above, it's C2280B Pin 1. The diagram is upside down from how the BCM is located in the truck. The blue wire is the wire I added. You'll pull that harness and take it apart, insert the wire and run it where you want to. If the wire is grounded, it'll pop the tailgate. Put the button you find in a convenient location and you're done.

 

I don't have an electric tailgate but that's a cool find none the less!

 

Yeah I believe I talked about this in this thread on adding electric release.
