I got mine installed and it works great. I’m a little paranoid that the dealer or some valet will want to play with the switches and end up damaging my tailgate. I have it labeled, but it’s hard to see in bad lighting. @Ruby do you see any problems with running the Upfitter wire through a hidden toggle switch before it connects to the relay?

There isn’t any issues with that!

lots of customers install my kit with a hidden switch! Any 12VDC signal to the Relay through the UPFITTER wire will trigger the tailgate.

but, just be aware. The tailgate release won’t function when the vehicle in motion more than 2mph, or while the power isn’t on. It’s fairly safe against accidents
