    Hey I need your guy’s help.
    I just installed the tailgate lock from runnin4tacos. After completing the install my front passenger side door locks when I press the unlock button on the key fob. And unlocks when I press the lock button...
    hoping someone here can help.
    Thanks!

    Did you switch the wires around? Sounds like the OEM wires where cut and reassembled backwards. I did a DIY on mine so I can't be more helpful on the kit but hopefully you can look at how you spliced in easily and see if that is the fault.

    Thanks for your reply. I didn’t splice the wire. This kit came with the plug and play harness. I’m thinking the harness is faulty...E5C3E72C-27BE-4E3F-9838-23045CEFFAF4.jpg

    Yeah, I suspect they accidentally flipped the wires in the harness. Well reach out to them and if they don't give you the help and you don't want to tackle the fix on your own I'd be happy to fix the harness if you want to mail it. Hopefully though they can resolve this for you much quicker. GL and just PM me if you don't get a resolution!
