Tail gate auto lock with remote

I have read a couple threads on this and was still little confused as to what wires where. I have my truck setup so push the remote button once all doors unlock, push again and they lock. Most wiring I had to do was to the driver side so knowing what color wires to use on the passenger side did not help. I have read where on the passenger side use blue/green and grey/orange. For me I am in the drivers side rail under the door sill. So I checked over and over to find the exact color combination. On MY 2012 F150 Raptor trim level I found the blue/green and grey/brown to be the right colors. On my lock control I needed 12 volts positive, negative for trigger. One direction it triggers lock reversed polarity unlock. Some newer stuff uses the can bus information to do this. I have a dozen of these left over door lock controls so I just used what i had laying around. It took longest to find the wires as the ones I wanted are on the bottom of the bundle. I like the fact I don’t need to buy the tailgate lock to secure my tailgate from thieves. I can be in my bedroom and hit the remote and it will lock all the doors and tail gate for me.. It is simple to do I used the brackets that came with it and mounted to operate the lock mechanism. I am going to the Raptor Christmas run in December so I will see how it holds up… I included pictures of the wires to try to help…. Thanks for looking…..
So here it is about a year plus since and it still works... Still locks and unlocks with the remote as I tied it in under the door sill....

you plan on sewing the wires together? haha.

You know those are test points... But since they showed which wires so well in the pictures I figuered leave them in for the pics....

which actuator did you use?

AN old harada have about a dozen laying around here.....

i took off the cover to my tailgate and could not find an easy way of mounting a newer actuator to it without some sort of modification to the assembly

On mine there was a lock assembly trigger plastic piece that runs out the opposite side and is shaped somewhat like a triangle. I mounted the actuator to move it up down and attached to the mid point it was fairly easy once I got to work. Works everytime and its a great piece of mind knowing my tailgate is not gong to go MIA.....I will stop by the shop so you can look at it and if i think about I will bring an actuator kit....

So on the driver side, which wire is the power (when key is in the ignition)?

this should be standard on all trucks. i just don't get it how the factory overlooks a small feature like this.

thanks for the info. a mod i would pay to have done
