ReneH Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Ok...now i have a problem at my own truck... I can't move the tailgate window when the tailgate is closed. I already have bridged the limiter switch, without success. I only can move it, when the tailgate is opened and I'll close the latches or bridge the switch. If I try to close the tailgate, the window stops to work close before the tailgate is closed. Is there another switch? I only found one inside the tailgate on the driver's side. Thanks!

85lebaront2 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Rene' I believe you probably have one or more broken wires where the harness bends entering the tailgate. This is not an unkommon issue on power tailgate windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOW I answer the right person...http://www.garysgaragemahal.com/uploads/6/5/8/7/65879365/head-rotfl-57x22_orig.gif I've found the problem exactly where you've said: Two wires were broken directly after my repair shells...now I'm changing all three wires completely to a 3x2.5mm² H07RN-F cable.

Actually, it was the old sage, Bill. Isn't he a wealth of knowledge? Glad you found it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having owned a couple of Fomoco wagons (1970 1/2 Falcon and 1971 Colony Park) I am quite familiar with broken wires at the tailgate hinge, particularly since both were dual action tailgates.

ReneH Posted April 29 Author Share Posted April 29 Having owned a couple of Fomoco wagons (1970 1/2 Falcon and 1971 Colony Park) I am quite familiar with broken wires at the tailgate hinge, particularly since both were dual action tailgates. So, I've fixed the problem: Before: One of the wires was corroded completely after the connector behind the taillight. After: I'll change the complete wiring harness in the future. I'll also change the H07 cable again to one made for robotic applications, cause these are very reliable and flexible. But also by now the window already runs much faster.

But also by now the window already runs much faster. Those Scotchlok connectors w/o the moisture seal are a very poor choice in situations like that. Glad you got it fixed, at least for the moment, with a very good solution later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
