I am changing the tailgate on my EL S/wagon, due to someone needing 3 feet to stop but only having 2 feet, but cannot seem to get the wiring separated . Is it a plug and socket fitting or part of the main loom which will mean a slice and rewire job. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

not sure what you mean but the wiring in the tailgate to be removed needs to be unplugged from number plate surround & wiper, rear window brake light, speakers then unplugged from connectors on the right 'C' pillar & a couple on the left 'C' pillar if i remember correctly? however if it has been squashed you may have problems getting it thru the tailgate body [to the left & right of the glass]. be carefull of the body connectors at the top near the hinges. DO NOT break the plastic clips. will also need to disconnect the spray nozzle hose too.

Grrrrr the tailgate open? The wires terminate to plugs in the pillar...
