Mike, Your advice in response to my last post seems great but I don't clearly understand it. Are you saying to use the old harnesses and just pull some wire through and reconnect or buy new harnesses and use the wire from the old ones to make up any distance that doesn't meet up? And on the ground wires, you say use 2 pieces in parralel, could you explain this like you would to a child, because I'm not really getting the picture.
Also someone else mentioned the older designs using the tailgate hatch as ground connection, can I just rely on that? I'd be perfectly happy to have my tailgate wipers work only when the hatch is closed if that is the scenario.
Thanks A Million
Danny
