#95... Not sure how you missed it.

 

You can still use the key to lock and unlock the standard lock. But if you have the actuator in the lock position the tailgate is locked. You can not unlock it with the key. So its like having 2 locks. If either is locked you can not open.


The picture I posted is for the driver side, (not the passenger side) however it is the wire that goes to the rear driver door. So I'm assuming if you tap that it would work with a double press. I actually don't know b/c I had set my truck to unlock rear doors with single press.

 

Yeah the pass side will unlock on the second botton press, thats how I just did mine. Pulled an old Actuator I had in the garage and 4 bucks worth of wire and about an hour and it's in and fully operational. Locks and unlocks with the fob or key. and actuates on the second unlock click.

 

Chased this thread half a dozen times but can't find anywhere definitive wire colors and location of wires for 2007 super crew for the power tailgate lock actuator mod.

Tried pink w/black and pink w/orange wires at drivers door sill. No luck...
Am I in the right harness looking at correct wires?

Does the actuator need to be grounded?

Thanks

 

Well that would be because this is the 2009-2013 section of the forum... No the actuator does not have to be "Grounded" like you are thinking. When you find the proper wires they fluxuate between hot and ground. One will be Hot and the other will be Ground on the lock pulse, and Visa Versa on the unlock pulse. The wires will be in both the drivers and Passengers door sills as they will have to run thru there to get to the rear doors. You may want to search the threads in the proper section of the site for your body style and I'm sure someone with that truck will have a wiring scematic to help you out...

 

I have a trailgate pull out step.

Does anyone know how to get the handle off?

 

I have it as well... are you talking about the stripper pole? If so it's pretty simple take out the 12 or so bolts that hold on the plastic tail gate liner, once it's out of the way there's i think 6 bolts that hold on the pole? You'll need the metal panel from ford for one without the step to make it look right then you can do away with the plastic if you wish... or are you talking about another handle?

 

Truck: 2013 Ford F-150 4x4 Platinum Super Crew with Tailgate Step, Bed Extender, and Power Running Boards.
Bedrug model #: BRQ09SCSGK
Bedlocker model #: BLF2843
Powergate model #: LK370
Weathergate model #: N/A
Considerations:
A. Powergate instructions that were provided are written for 2010 year models and older. Pace Edwards does not provide any instructions for 2011 or newer models. The instructions are occasionally inaccurate or just flat wrong. I developed an elegant solution that was reviewed and endorsed by two local Ford dealers. Feedback and recommendations were provided to Pace Edwards with no response at time of this writing.
I. Two wires will need to be lengthened and four shortened.


I have detailed coordinated instructions. Will post once I'm approved to include attachments.

 

Just read through this whole thread. Need a nap now.

Is there a plug n play kit for 09+? Or is best way to just buy actuator n do it yourself? Would like to do this one day.

 

I plan on making mine, making one for a friend, and if testing goes well - I'll have pretty robust plug and play options available for us.

 

Sounds good keep me posted.

 

When you open the drivers door manually, and all the doors unlock, does the tailgate unlock?

 

hammer65, yes the tailgate will unlock when you open driver door.

 

My actuator died last month. Just got a new one off eBay, popped the cover off the tailgate, replaced the bad one and done in a few minutes. The boot on the actuator developed a rip in it and dirt got in the mechanism. That's what killed it after 3 years.

That's the exact same scenario that happened to my first actuator.
