DIY: Ford Maverick XL - OEM Power Tailgate Lock Install!

[@Cyberwiz64]

I would like to thank you for your instructions. I got the materials together and converted my Maverick XL to a power unlocking tailgate. When I bought the truck, I did not consider a manual tailgate a big deal. There's been several situations where having to get out and unlock the tailgate has been more than an inconvenience. Thanks again!

[@HeartlandRebuilds]

Thanks! It's relatively cheap and should have been on every trim. Ford trying to push orders to a more expensive option package to get minimal improvements.

Great video. I didn't want to wire anything though I just bought a replacement harness. It was $46. Not too bad honestly.

[@HeartlandRebuilds]

Harness price must be coming down. It was almost $100 last year.

[@Jason-gw9iw]

Thank you so much for taking the time. This was exactly what I needed. Great video!

[@HeartlandRebuilds]

Glad it helped. Thanks for watching!

I plan on adding a backup sensor kit to my XLT. Got any wire routing suggestions going from back tail light area (where the sensor module will be powered) to front cab area (to mount speaker / display). Thx

Excellent video & instructions

[@HeartlandRebuilds]

Thank you!

Can you buy harness instead of tapping?

[@HeartlandRebuilds]

Yes, a new harness is significantly easier. Harness part number is in the video description.

[@dearbulls]

​@@HeartlandRebuildsthank you! I see there are 2 harness models listed. Is there any difference between B and C models?

[@HeartlandRebuilds]

@@dearbulls no difference, same part

[@EasternMobileTech]

Nice video, did you try to see if you could purchase the factory harness instead of adding pins/wire?

[@EasternMobileTech]

Looks like you can maybe use PN: NZ6Z-14A412-C

[@HeartlandRebuilds]

You can definitely use a factory harness. Adding the pins was significantly cheaper for me.

[@dearbulls]

​@@EasternMobileTechcan anyone confirm if this part works or not?

I have a 2023 Maverick hybrid xl. My question is, is it possible to make all 4 windows one touch auto up and down?

[@HeartlandRebuilds]

I haven't seen anyone do this online yet. I'm not sure what hardware or software is missing.

[@Cyberwiz64]

I have a 2023 XL I would like to add the power tailgate lock to. If I get the lock JB3Z-9943170-A 1X, 2 Molex MX150 connectors and the WPT1314 plus a little wire, I should be good to go. Correct. Also what gauge wire are we talking about?

[@HeartlandRebuilds]

That's all you need. Wire is standard for a vehicle, 16-18ga is plenty thick.

[@alforte531]

Does this install affect the lane assist as it is in the same harness.

[@HeartlandRebuilds]

Doesn't affect any lane assist. The two wires are only for the power lock.

[@fordoffrankfort]

How much time did that take start to finish?

[@HeartlandRebuilds]

It took me a couple hours, but most of that was setting up cameras.

[@HeartlandRebuilds]

Your welcome! Hope it helped you.

Upon re-watch...Hmm, will "remote unlock", UNLOCK physical key lock position? @@HeartlandRebuilds
