2010 ram power tailgat
I see a user posted the wiring for the 2011 ram
Thought I'd update this with the changes for 2011 Rams.
The wires in the TIPM box are still tan/light blue and tan/dark blue but one is in the E connector and the other is in the F. If you can read the tiny numbers on the connectors, that's cavity #7 in E and cavity #20 in F.
I presume a 2010 will be similar?
What I did not see is what these wires are for? My gate was stolen off my 2010 SLT ram (I had no power option only a key)and the replacement I got is a outdoorsman tailgate with power lock. I was hoping my harness would have the power connection unfortunately it does not. The dealer is looking for the original VIN from the outdoorsman but I have no idea what truck tis came from. So I do not understand how the lock is controlled? I suspect you put power on a pin to loc and power on a different pin to unlock. If this is true I can play with the gate to see what pin operates what function. I also would need to know what wire in TIPM box performs what function? Also is there a way to test the wires before I go and cut into them? I presume I should be able to put a test light on these wires and use my FOB to lock//unlock and get power at my test light!
At this point im guessing at how it works and having some mentoring would be great. I realize this thread is somewhat old but I spent couple hours searching through the RAM section of the forunm and this only thread I found. I may have missed some thought. Anyway any assistance at explain what these wires do would be great.
Thanks
