Pop N Lock PL8521 Install With Emergency Release

I did this also when I installed my pace edwards locks. But i used a piece of mule tape . Its a great idea i hope I never have to use it

 

Mine has been sitting there since I installed it, unused. Hopefully it will remain that way. Of course my tonneau cover is thin vinyl so it would not take much effort to get into the bed of the truck if someone wanted to. Like a lock on most doors, the locking tailgate only keeps out honest people. Those intent on getting past a lock will just break whatever else they need to in order to get in.

 

Frankly I don’t remember. I installed mine almost 10 years ago.

 

I understand. I can't remember what I did yesterday! Luckily I can reference this thread to refresh my memory as the picture I have in the first post shows the installation.

 

Does anyone know if the wiring is different for access cabs? I poked into the wiring on mine and saw the blue black but not blue red wire

 

I do not off the top of my head. This thread was a supplemental thread to the original thread that discussed installation in greater detail. I has been years since I read through the original thread but it is linked in my first post. Here is the link:

Thanks! Sounds like I should check the passenger side and the wiring should match up, I looked at the driver side
