Can Pop & Lock Tailgate Lock PAL8600 be Wired into Trunk Lock Wiring on a 2019 Honda Ridgeline
Updated 07/16/2018 | Published 07/12/2018
Question:
I have a 2019 Honda Ridgeline and like the Etrailer Tailgate lock. I was wondering though, why the wires need to run all the way to fuse panel when there are wires located on the trunk lock right next to the tailgate? Can the wires from the lock be spliced to the lock wires on Trunk lock, and are trunk lock wires in a place where they can be reached?

Pop & Lock has determined that the wiring at the front of a Honda Ridgeline is the best place to get the proper circuits required by the lock. It is entirely possible though that you could use the wires you mentioned if they are easily accessible and carry the proper functions needed by the lock (the power lock/unlock circuit). If you are able to verify the function of those wires at the desired location then you can use them if you want. I have linked a video showing and example installation we did on a 2018 Honda Ridgeline.
