finally got around to do it last night. i went with original controller box instead of the so called upgrade one, reason being it looks like a used box that they got back from someone. so far so good. i'll cross my finger. i found the exact connector for the OEM liftgate switch on mouser to make it nice and clean. also, since i don't like to tap into cables i went with mating connector for the 12V & GND. make it easier to convert back if needed. overall connection was easy enough. removing and reinstalling the trim was truly royal pain in the behind.

What's the part number for the connector you used to get power that fits the stock Tesla connector? I see the link to the 3-terminal connector for the button, but not the (12? maybe) position connector that you are using to get power.finally got around to do it last night. i went with original controller box instead of the so called upgrade one, reason being it looks like a used box that they got back from someone. so far so good. i'll cross my finger. i found the exact connector for the OEM liftgate switch on mouser to make it nice and clean. also, since i don't like to tap into cables i went with mating connector for the 12V & GND. make it easier to convert back if needed. overall connection was easy enough. removing and reinstalling the trim was truly royal pain in the behind.

If you watch the the video in my signature you can see the installation. There is only one wire to tap into for power. You can do it without cutting any wires using a POSI-TAP connector like I did. Very easy installation.Ok I am going to ask because its been a few months since this thread has had any action, do you need to cut any wires or tap into any wires with this kit? I really would like to get this installed but dont want to mess up my car.
i used Tesla one. did not use the one that came with the kit.Did you use the tesla trunk button or the one that came in the kit?

Thanks!
I initially used the kit one but then switched to the Tesla one because it looked cooler. Wiring them was pretty simple. I remember directions were in this threadi used Tesla one. did not use the one that came with the kit.
here is the link
34695-0100 Molex | Mouser
it is a male connector. the pin is already on it.Thanks. I must be having a moment here. I went through the whole data sheet and can’t find the part number of the pin. I see it has a combination of 0.68mm signal pins and both 1.50mm and 2.80mm power blades.
Which is the power on? Do you have the part number?
Hi Toney,I initially used the kit one but then switched to the Tesla one because it looked cooler. Wiring them was pretty simple. I remember directions were in this thread
I cant remember the color combo let me look for youHi Toney,
Just finished my install, I installed the Tesla switch, but it doesn't light up. I tried some combinations, with some it the light worked, but it did not switch. Coloring from controller is black, green purple. Colors on the switch are black,green, yellow.
I went with black-black, green-green, purple-yellow , but thats not the right one it seems.
Does anybody know the correct order?
Looked at my photos and I cant tell how I made the connection. I can tell you black is always to black and it seems your green to green should also be right.
You tried swapping the green and green and purple wires?
When it did indeed light up it seems you may have had the connection right. Maybe one of the wires wasnt properly connected and that is why it didnt switch
Ok, so this is weird.
I think I tried all available options, even created an excel to doublecheck myself

If anybody can explain the wiring schema, and how to connect I would be gratefull.
I am kind of confused, how hard can this be? the light is working and switch too....

YES...at least the one I got (autoease), there is NO WAY You can route the cables cleanly without cutting, but don't worry its not hard. I would try any other way, it took me 2 days and a lot of angst before I realized that I had to CUT.Ok I am going to ask because its been a few months since this thread has had any action, do you need to cut any wires or tap into any wires with this kit?
