Hi all

Purchased one of these for my 2017 Sahara. Very well made.

For the life of me I cannot get the tail gate switch out. No way I can push it out from the inside. Using trim kit removal levers from the outside I have it very loose but cannot pull or pull/push it out. I started applying force and heard a loud crack and the sound of plastic flying around inside the tailgate.

Before I resort to pulling the tailgate apart, does anyone have any ideas?

I did try to remove the plug and try to plug in the light leaving the switch in place, but can't quite get my hand in the right place.

Thanks
Nick

Hi Nick

It is only the center or “moving” part of the switch that you push out from the inside of the tailgate, not the entire switch housing including the outer flange section. It seems counterintuitive but if you push and wriggle just the center part where the plug joins the switch it will pop out and leave the outer flange section still firmly in the tailgate. Hope that helps. I confirm that it is a well-made awesome bit of kit once you get it connected and working!
Cheers

Now that cube helped me know how to remove the switch, it was a 5 minute install.

High-quality kit. Great service by Brendan. Unless you really NEED to make it yourself, I suggest dropping the $ for Brendans kit. You also then have your spare blank panel.

Thanks cube. All sorted.

Just seen you're post.

Thanks Cube this is correct.

If you require any assistance please send me a PM and I'll provide any further information and a solution.

Just received my light from Australia, super nice quality and craftsmanship. Installation was a breeze. Thanks so much for offering these. A great addition to my new rig!

Thanks Brendan. Received my light. It took 5 minutes to install and looks great/works great. Hardest part was figuring out how best to remove the lift-gate close-door button. I was able to stick my phone in the hole and take a picture which showed where the tabs were and where to push for removal. Easy.

Nick.
I found the best way to remove the switch fixture is to reach into opening and feel around the perimeter of the opening and feel for at least two tabs. Carefully push them out and fixture will easily be pushed out.
Don't feel like the lone ranger. I broke mine too during my first attempt to remove it.

I love mine, I couldn't live without it. We've had it in our 2019 LX570 coming up on a year now, I use it every single day with no issues.

Any way you can make two of these with a button to open the back

Would it be possible to also include a button to open the back tailgate?

Hi Brendan,

does the blue light on the power button go out when the boot is closed? I hate having light in the interior while driving at night, especially blue. for some reason almost every cigarette to USB adapter uses them.

thanks!

Yes the blue illuminated switch goes off when door closed.

That is so true about the USB adapters
