I am excited to get started on this project. I do like the idea of the panic button component, a honk indicator when lock/unlock (arm/disarm), parking and interior light as a part of the indicators of the system but these features are not required day1 of the installation.Īt some point later in the future, I will purchase and install door lock actuators for the other 4 doors as well, but these are nice to have at this point and not in scope for this phase of the project.įor all the non-essential nice-to-have features that are not a part of the primary requirement for this phase of the project, I want to keep in mind things that should be accounted for in order to make future implementations of these nice-to-have functions simpler.ġ.) What wire do I purchase, can it be simply added to the existing wiring harness in the tailgate, how/where does the wire get routed throughout the vehicle.Ģ.) Is there a decent wiring diagram someone may have that I can easily see what is needed for my primary purpose of only the tailgate latch actuator and its connectivity for power/polarity as well as for connectivity to the Viper 211HV control module?ģ.) What other advice can someone provide that will help me with this project?Ĥ.) Do I need to purchase another wiring harness? If so, what harness do I need? Again, the primary purpose/requirement at this point is just to have remote entry for the tailgate. I am still working out the details and researching the wiring needs / diagram for the entire installation process. I am assuming that I need to purchase some wires that will be used for power/polarity for the tailgate latch actuator. It is also my understanding that the Viper 211HV system contains the following in the box: I understand that the existing wiring harness inside the tailgate will have 2 wires on the tailgate side and 2 wires on the vehicle side that are for supporting the door open indicators. I have ordered the Viper 211HV keyless entry unit (should show up soon). I have already recieved the OEM lock actuator for the tailgate (part 04589584AG / 4589276AL) I will do something similar (or exactly like) what buskeats refers to in his replies on this thread: I ultimately want to install remote keyless entry on all my doors + tailgate but I have decided to start small and go with keyless entry for just my tailgate for now given that is the biggest pain of all for manual locks in my 2014 jk wrangler unlimited.
