How to Wire Pop & Lock Tailgate on Honda Ridgeline Using Wiring Behind B-Pillar
Question:
Do you have more info words and or pics on how and where to pull the wiring harness to get it so you can connect at the B pillar as show in the answer? In one of earlier questions there was an alternative location identified, but pictures were only of a connection made.... nothing provided as to how to get the wiring to that point,.. and what should you see/checks, for making the connection.

The B-pillar is located where the driver's seat belt is stored (see photo). You will need to remove the driver's door sill trim, left rear door sill trim, door opening seal and the B-pillar lower trim cover before you can remove the B-pillar cover itself. There are several retaining tabs and clips that come off with each piece. I recommend using a trim removal like # ALL648544 to lower the chances of damaging one or more of these pieces since you need to re-install them.
Once you remove the B-pillar, you are able to find a black grommet which needs to be pulled out to access the wires on the Ridgeline. From there, follow the same standard installation instructions to splice the necessary wires. I have included a video that shows step by step instructions on how to route the Pop & Lock Tailgate # PAL8600 harness all the way to the front. The video also shows you which wires to look for and how to splice them together.
