thanks racer. how did you plug the hole in the gate? Did you just cut the wires off the grommet and re-use it?

Thank you for this thread, it saved me tons of time!! Instead of tapping into the wires behind the brake light, I tapped into the ones under the carpet ontop of the rear deck (directly above the tail light.

Does anyone elses brake light flash when they close/open the rear gate?

Mine is an '07 and I'm having this same problem -- can't get the wiring diagram for my year to load right now, but it's suspicious that the black wire is not the ground.

Also, I did not really have a white wire with a "tan" stripe -- mine was more gray.

I just realized this tonight, so I'll pull it apart tomorrow and post up with what I find.
