Today's first out.





Got a problem with the electronic lock of the tailgate, did make a bypass Yesterday for an extra release switch. Everything connected it did click.
Tailgate accidentally closed before proper testing, doorhandle switch does nothing now...
My 90 is converted to an Hardtop/ Commercial with full bulkhead, no way to get in.
So I have to find out who can help me with the powerful modification to enable the Tailgate switch on our FOB.. CCF ,see below
Any advice is greatly appreciated ( before I make a manhole in the Bulkhead )

Wow that’s a great color. Well worth the work. If that was a stock color I would have 100% gone with it. The stock greens don’t do it for me. This one just pops.

Start with the easy troubleshooting. Is the battery connected? Looks like you had a lot pulled apart. Make sure you have power. Check all the connections you can get to unplug re-plug in make sure they are seated right. After that yeah you might have to cut into the bulkhead or drill a hole or two to see what’s going on. If you can try to unplug the extra harness and take it back to original.

Managed to get the bulkhead at the underside loose, enough to get in.
This involved to remove the front seats and the middle console first.
Repaired my bypass at the wireloom of the Tailgate release switch. So everything back to original.
Sparetire mount reinstalled, sparetire back on.
Everthing reinstalled in the cabin,front..



Mud table back on.

Excellent work on an awesome project!
