Best 1995 Dodge Ram Pickup Vehicle Locks

i ordered this product to go along with my extang solid fold on my 05 ram 3500. the installation video was very informative! i watched it two or three times while waiting for this to be delivered, and by time it arrived i barely needed the instructions. the main wire that goes from back to front of the truck was barely long enough following the trucks oem harness. i also didnt use the battery tirminals for power, i think that looks cluttered. i used the positive battery post in the power distribution box, and a main ground on the frame right next to it. very clean looking. i feel much better leaving my golf clubs in back during the summer, and transporting hunting equipment and firearms legally through the fall and winter. thanks!

I received the new lock faster than was expecting.The pop&lock was very easy to replace.Just popped out the old lock and popped in the new one .I had to take the handle off and take it inside because it is cold here.No problem very easy to take off. here is pic of the old and the new.

I installed it in about a minute on a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500. Works great and would recommend this product. There is no way to pull it off once it's locked in, you would have to take the access cover off the tailgate. The only thing you have to do after you install it is to take a flat head screwdriver to pick up the lock a little bit to get the tape off. I would recommend tweezers to peal it off.

I have a 2012 Ram 1500 crew cab 4x4 Bought this for the security and convenience. Install was pretty simple. There's an online video but it's 4 years old and there is no longer a relay but the rest is true...just run the large harness wires inside the vehicle. The base mounting plate that fits over the two bolts at the tailgate handle didn't line up...just spread the "feet" a lil til it lined up and installed the nuts. I ran the wires through the same hole as my back up camera and through the same protector plate in the body of the truck to make it seamless. Zip tie every 8 inches or so...I used a lot more zip ties than those provided...get a bag..they're cheap and you will use them! I wrapped the long harness in the wire loom as I had some...I do recommend! I ran the wire harness with the plug down from by my firewall towards the ground instead of trying to feed up from the bottom as I was by myself. I had an amp put in so I used the same hole as the power wire to the amp through the firewall. There is a "spongy" plug that will lead right behind the dash on my truck. I pulled off the kick panel/step guard to expose the insulation hiding the wires. Two push pins to pop out...not as easy as you would think...but once I got them out the harness was attached to the side of the body. There's a "y" of wires the wires the directions said to use were tan/white and tan/green. I spliced the green wire from the pop & lock to the tan/white and blue to tan/green. when I hooked the harness together and tried it it worked perfectly but on the driver door lock so one push of the remote button unlocked the driver door and tailgate...no big deal to me but you may want to try the other wires to work off the passenger doors or two pushes of the remote? Once I was sure everything worked right I started to map out running the wires...this is not as straight forward as it may seem. There are many "clips" holding in the brake lines and I securely but not so hard to move the lines attached the wire to them running along the frame as much as possible. the tricky part was where the long gas tank sits from about midway of the rear driver door to the rear wheel well. I tried going over the top of the gas tank...NO GOOD! Went back to the brake lines and the frame and with a lot of cussing and many trys I was able to get the zip ties over and back to be able to secure in that very tight of spaces along the frame. Save the long zip ties for the area around the rear wheel. There is a mounting plate for the lines and it rides up on the wheel arch so having a lil longer zip tie makes a big difference in being able to hold the wire in place and grab the tie and feed it so you can tighten it! I had a little wire left from both pieces so I just doubled it against itself and zip tied it to the electrical harness wires to the brake lights and such making sure to leave the clip area open so if I ever need to disconnect I don't have to cut the zip tie

Installed this kit on my 2012 Dodge Ram 1500. The kit contained everything I needed to complete the install. There is one small probelm with my particular year and model truck. The instructions explain to use 1 of two possible wire sets. Neither one of the two options (wire colors) are present in the harness. I ended up taking the door card off and check for wire colors on the lock actuator. I, then, tapped into the wires in the main harness and all was good. I used the wire pair for the rear driver side door which means that the tail gate will only unlock when you push the unlock button twice. I did that on purpose but one could easily find the wires for the front door actuators. All in all a very easy install and I love it.

product does not fit 2016 ram bighorn truck, Sending it back

I have purchased many items from etrailer over many years. Excellent prices and great customer service. You are my one stop shopping site for trucks, RV's and my farm equipment. Your fast shipping has been a life saver for my business. Thanks very much!!!

The locks, one for the hinge and one for the latch were very easy to install and work just as advertised, It took about 10 minutes to install the hinge lock and about 1 hour to install the latch lock, most of that getting to the wiring under the dash. Very nice product, very pleased with the equipment and the ease of installation.

Great product, installed easily with good instructions. Worked as designed, I think it was a pretty positive lock for the tailgate. Ultimately traded my 2003 Ram for a 2017 Ram with a locking tailgate, when I get a cap I will probably be looking for the electric lock for it.

Just the part I needed and it was very helpful to have a real person pick up the phone when I called to ask questions. AND my tailgate locks perfectly now! Wish I had ordered sooner but at least I can check that job off my "to do" list.

Worthy addition. Perfect position every time!

Over a year now in use and going strong. We bought these for our fleet of trucks, mostly Ford's 2016 to 2019, F-150 and F-250, also two dodge 3500, 2006 and 2007. This is a set it and forget it lock, easy install. Great piece of mind after having just one tailgate stolen, replacement cost is ridiculous. Cheap insurance in my opinion.

Kiss hard to install but worth it!!

Works great only a small issue but it really not an issue for me per say everytime i shut my tailgate now it locks its like tje momentum slides the plunger over to lock it Ony only does that sometimes ot never did that before but not an issue for me i prefer it actually but some may not i love it ty

Great company, received the product sooner than was quoted. Solid product, very easy install. Only issue was while watching the locking mechanism before I put the cover plate back on the tail gate, the little spring was getting snagged on the factory 10mm bolt head. The bolt head was too tall to let the spring return to the unlocked position. Easy fix, just found another bolt with the same thread just shorter head. Problem solved. Or you could just grind down the bolt.

Very happy with my purchase. Received multiple emails notifying me that my purchase was received and also shipped which also provided tracking info. Received my replacement locking tailgate handle in two days and it only took five minutes to install. Looks factory and looks and works great. Will definitely order from etrailer again!

Katherine is just the sweetest person to deal with over the phone. She went above and beyond the call of duty yo make sure I received my part before my 2 month long trip out west. She came up with a solution to speedily get me the out-of-stock part without breaking the bank on shipping. Part was incredibly easy and fast to install. No hidden problems or missing parts. Thank you again.

Awesome addition to my 2004 Toyota Tacoma tailgate. The lock fit perfectly and came as advertised. Very good communication with the ordering and shipping process. Awesome….

The tailgate lock arrived today. That 5 minute installation took (68 and 72 year olds) about 1.5 hours to install, but it is now installed and working. Our fingers are not as supple as younger folks. Thanks for all of your assistance. Have a good week-end.

works as it should...no issues AND STILL WORKS FINE.

Outstanding!!. 2 significant improvements: 1) improved actuator claw. Hard plastic instead of sheet metal makes is quieter. Larger Claw improves engaging with the locking mechanism. 2) improved grommets for the truck bed and tail gate insure constant unhindered connections. Well Done!

Took about a hour for a 78 year old to install. Works great. Great way to get rid of keys.

Found this item via google and decide to order it. After ordering I also looked [online] and seen it was some what cheaper. But went ahead and kept this order just to keep it for more of a local business. Opened the package and thought wow this is nothing but a piece of plastic. Well I installed it and while taking out the old one it too was all plastic. The only thing the clips that hold to the rods are a little more flimsy than the original. Got it installed and it wouldn’t lock unless I kinda flipped the handle while turning the key. I thought oh no this isn’t going to be good. I got out the old faithful WD-40 and sprayed the moving parts and it works like it should. So far I am pleased with the item. It is just chrome covers plastic but with normal care should last a good long time. Looks good also on my vehicle. ( picture below). I would recommend this item, pay a little more here but it keeps them in business. Deleobert was very fast and packaged well.

The installation went very easy. The instructions were clear and almost perfect. The only thing I found wrong was it said to use a 6mm driver to unscrew to bolts mounting the handle. It is actually a 10mm. The final look is great.

This tailgate handle works fine enough, but the plastic is thin and feels fragile/sharp around the edges, and not like the original factory handle. I wish it felt like a better-quality product.

Great product. It was installed under 10 minutes and key programmed without any issues. It works great.. Thanks.

Well designed. Easy to install. Looks original and the backup camera fit well. It’s nice to be able to lock the tailgate. The lock is somewhat stiff locking and unlocking (despite following the instructions). I often don’t lock or unlock so as to not break something in the process- it doesn’t feel sturdy. I would buy again and I do recommend it.

I am very pleased with my tailgate handle. It was simple to install and works perfectly. I like the ideal of being able to key it to my existing key. The Chrome handle looks very good on the truck. It is plastic so I hope it holds up. It seems to be very sturdy. I received the handle in a reasonable time and I am very satisfied with it. I would definitly recommend this handle.

The latch I purchased is not close to factory latch quality. If you don’t have the key in the exact position, the latch won’t open. I wouldn’t purchase another one.
