I did blue to blue on the tailgate part, and brown to green. then up front I did blue to purple w/ gray stripe, and brown to gray with brown stripe.

before I routed the wire through the frame I just did the scotch taps in the door sill, temporarily hooked the wires up, and tested it all out. Once I had it working in the right order, I disconnected it and rerouted it. Ended up cutting off about 5' of excess wire too. Nice the kit comes with the wire already loomed and all.

Pics from my install. I had some green 2" thick foam. Used 2 piece stacked up to stick under the pop & lock. It pushes it up about 1/8" more so it doesn't hang up on the key, and is wedged in there tight enough it won't move on its own.

Love this mod, wish I did it months ago. Always fiddling with stuff outside and never have my keys on me.

Now I want to get a wireless keypad to stick tucked away on the back of the truck so I don't have to walk to the drivers door to unlock it lol

Has anyone installed the pl8250 on a 2013 raptor? I'm trying to right now but I cannot find a grey with brown stripe or light blue with green stripe in the passenger side. I did find a grey with brown stripe on the driver's side.

You haven't mentioned what body style SCAB or SCREW.

It would crazy if Ford started to change the color of the wires already but who knows.
Where are you looking in the passenger side?

All the wires are together up front close to the kick panel, but some members have tied in by the back door on a SCREW.

which wires are you looking for?

They are the door actuator wires coming from the BCM.
Because it's a Can-Bus system and Remote Start/Plus Alarm,
the door wires travel in and out the door several times each being different colors.

I had work with Pop and Lock a long time to get to the correct wires. Only to have the wires confirmed by another member.
They used to have a link on there Website to this thread for Raptors, but Pop and Lock was sold and the new owners took the link out.
I guessing they were afraid I would want money.
But they still haven't corrected their directions on what wires to use last I looked.
OK just looked at their website they finally corrected the colors in bold letters.
But no mention of a thank you or feedback from them that it was corrected. Oh well :)

If you can help please do so.

Got it working on my 2013 scab! Thanks guys! I was looking in the wrong place. I was looking by the passenger rear door when I should have been looking by the passenger front door.
