    Yes exactly. Thank you. I was thinking they are 6000

    Yeah, I've noticed the P&L gets sticky in the Arkansas cold...haven't fixed it yet (wife hasn't complained enough). Thanks for the tip on the silicone spray though.

    Did you have enough wire for the job or did you have to get extra? If so, what type and how much did you need?

    Just installed on my truck. Took 30-45 minutes. Hardest part was getting under the truck to route the wires. Definitely recommend as I back into my garage which means if I wanted to get anything out I'd have to start the truck, pull up, turn the truck off, and then get out to unlock the tailgate.

    Just finished installing a Pop N Lock on my 2017 SR5. None of the wiring diagrams I found were accurate. All called for me to attach the pop n lock wires to wire colors that did not exist.

    This post and others had photos consistently showing hooking up to the bottom right most wire and bottom left most wire of the lowest blue connector on the passenger side. So I went for that, it came out opposite (locking when the doors unlocked) so I switched the wires and now it works.

    Hopefully this concept will work for others of all model years.

    I know this is an old thread, but for anyone thinking of doing this, don’t bother with pop & lock. Buy the OEM Toyota one, it’s WAY quieter, plug and play with no wire splicing, the harness is exactly the right length with heat shield tape on certain parts, and it comes with a new grommet pre-installed for passing the wire harness through the floor. Part number PK3B6-34JS0 for my 2021 crew max and was only $129 from OEM Part Source. https://www.oempartsource.com/oem-parts/toyota-tailgate-lock-pk3b634js0

    And yet another knuckle head bumps this thread. Since the link back on page one for the posi-taps is broken, I was curious if anyone knew the wire size for taping into the cargo light circuit for the bed lights.

    Also, severalpeople recommended the OEM tailgate lock kit, but it seems to be for 2019 and up. Is there one for a 2016? Or is aftermarket the only option?
