Does the tailgate on a 62 lock with power locks? (1 Viewer)

[Southbound]

Or do you have to use a key?

I'm installing aftermarket power locks on my 60 but don't see any way to integrate the tailgate lock into the system.

Thanks

yes, there is a lock actuator in the lift gate and two relays in the back drivers side aft of the jack for the rear gate

How do you access the two relays, through the jack access panel?

For that matter, why are there two?

They are in the last panel, the one aft of the jack panel where the rear window squirter reservoir lives, the relays are bolted with one bolt to the body.

I would have to look at the wiring diagram again but basically one relay works for lock the other for unlock, the return path is in through the NC contact of the inactive relay.

Is it possible to change the lock cylinder to accept any key (i.e. the one I already have)?
