I need to remove my tailgate assembly, but the 2000 VX Manual (CD) says there should be a single wiring harness to detach; I can't find it! My VX is a 99 - does it not have the harness? It looks as though I have to pull out all the wiring as one piece. Has anyone here removed the tailgate on a 99 VX?

I would think that the rear harness would be basically the same. There is a separate Electrical Troubleshooting manual for 2000 with changes from the 1999 version, but I thought that the changes were minor. Sounds like some stuff may have been made differently for the new model year back there.

psychos2 - Yes, i found it (eventually). I guess they moved it in 2000. Thanks for the info!

johnnyapollo - Is the electrical troubleshooting manual on CD? If so, can you tell me where a copy is available?

Don't forget the rear defroster harness.
