wiring/power connections for the tailgate latch FL2

the section of the aux junction box you need is RJB4 as this is mostly battery fed items whilst RJB2 is ignition controlled items. if the connection are present in either FD4,FD9 OR FD12 you can use one to power your remote relay this will allow you to unlock the tailgate without having the ignition on if you require the ignition to be on so the tailgate only opens when the ignition is active then search the vacant fuse holder for connection on RJB2 FB6 or FB7 but you will have to check for voltage on which ever fuse holder you use with the connection present

Hi Mr Mystery,

(Sorry the formating as gone up View attachment 349316View attachment 349315View attachment 349316the wall)

Again thanks for your reply and help. I have decided (right or wrong) to insert a wireless relay into the boot area and drive the latch. However:

I am going to use the 12V cigar lighter as the supply BUT looking at the fuse box at the back cannot seem to find the fuse for this. (yes, I know I can pull each out in turn but) If/when I find it – if it is even in the Aux Fuse Box? I had intended to put a Piggy Back Car Fuse Holder in that fuse slot and take my 12V from there.​

My problem is not knowing the location and how to get to your “C4BRO2B-15 OR -16”​

Removing F1 and F2 do not cut power to the Cigar lighter but the manual would suggest it should!!. Apart from pulling each fuse out do you have the number?​

I have ordered a wireless relay at 433MHz – I know the fob frequency is the same but I was thinking I could/maybe use the fob to operate it. I will test this out on the bench before thinking of installing it in the car. I will keep you informed if I may​

Bye for now Ken​

I've already said that the power socket powers down a few minutes after ignition off, so it won't be any use to power a remote for the boot.

Use a pigy back take off for FD6 or FD8, as those are for the parking brake, which I believe is powered all the time. If not, use a meter to check for battery voltage on any of the fuses in the rear fuse box, as 1 will definitely have permanent power.
