Plot Thickens: Non-Locking Tailgate
[img alt="I'm a Newbie, and posted about my new-to-me 2021 F150 XL's tailgate which does not lock. I took the cover off the tailgate and exposed the mechanical latch and associated wiring for the backup camera. To my surprise, I also discovered an unterminated electrical connection?
Has anyone here been inside their tailgate? And might be able to tell/show me where this wire connects inside your tailgate. Thanks."]https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.f150forum.com-vbulletin/2000x1504/20250723_142906_83acaf8bfe4e1c6b5a55a9de13eba306e4 bf1d7e.jpg[/img]
