Tailgate Removal V50

JonathanAl

Hello Lads,

Volvo v50 2009

want to change tailgate as damaged. Guy in scrapyard removed an interior roof panel just inside the tailgate door, cut the bunch of wires there then removed the tailgate , all from doner car.

Was not best pleased at the wire cutting as thought there may be more to it than that. But on the positive side I thought maybe save a bit of time as no need to remove tailgate panels etc, just do as he did and join up the wires in the same place on my car.

Imagine my disappointment on opening the outer protection tape only to discover all the wires are black !! 10 black wires. What happened to coloured wires? 

Would appreciate advice on what to do.

Many thanks,

John

Is there a multiplug inside the tailgate itself for wiring going through to the car?

Have a look online through specialist owners clubs like Volvo Forums, you're way more likely to get make/model related information in places like that.
