6.4.1 Clip or Tie Wrap Installation Method
CAUTION
Fasten the power cable to the truck body. Locate one fastener (battery side) within three inches of the end of the fuse assembly. Locate the other fastener (power unit side) within eight inches of the fuse assembly.
Using the direct battery wiring connection is not recommended because it does not remove power to the liftgate when the truck is left unattended. A cut-off switch or cut-off solenoid will prevent the unauthorized use of the liftgate when the truck is not in use.

Direct Battery Connection Option
This method is not recommended because it allows the unauthorized use of the liftgate when the truck is unattended. To prevent unauthorized use, use either “6.6 Cut-Off Solenoid Connection Option” on page 26 or “6.7 Cut-Off Switch Connection Option” on page 26.
5. Connect the short end of the power cable to the positive post of the battery. 6. The power unit should now be operational. 7. Coat all terminal ends, studs, and nuts with a Teflon lubricant, grease, or other electrical connection sealant to prevent corrosion.
