Serehill's tailgate harness

In your post on the other site I speculated that the blues went to the safety switch. I now think that's incorrect.

After looking at a relay and that close up picher I think the blues go to relay pins 30 which would be the motor leads. Either the two on a two wire motor or the up and down on a three wire.

Gonna have to study the pics more. To try and understand what's going on with your motor.

Also, where does the safety switch connect? Maybe the connector in the red wire? Looks like it feeds the switches. Unmate it and connect to the switch in series if you have it; leave the connector mated as is if you don't?

Is your original three wire or two?

My understanding when installing this was the blue wires were what I needed to send out to the window motor to power it - and that it didn't matter which wire went to which terminal.

I think Serehill had this whole thing setup as he described that if "up" went down, you could just switch the two wires from one terminal to the other.

this image shows the two red wires that I understand run to the safety switch - serehill in his directions says you don't have to use the safety switch and you can leave these two wires like this. (again, I could be misunderstanding)



My motor - both original and replacement are two wire motors.

I should've thought of this before. Do you have a meter?

Hook it up to the two motor leads on the terminal strip and see what you get. Should be 12V in one direction and -12V in the other.

It's not unheard of to get a bad rebuilt motor.

You need to post a pic of the motor you're using, and verify it is the correct one. I question if an aftermarket rebuilt is actually correct?
Many vendors/manufacturers incorrectly assume all years that parts are same.

As said earlier the new/late ones work differently. If not wired correctly they won't work, and you can damage the early one using the later style wiring setup.

Are the more than two versions; those being the two wire and the earlier three wire?
