How to run new wires to hatch
Has anyone ran a new wire to the hatch before? I'm relocating my backup camera to the license plate pocket and need to run the new wires for it through to the body. The existing harness has a connector above the headliner - are there any pictures or knowledge of how to add to this?

It works much better then those plate cameras. My camera looks down and side to side.

Tomorrow I'll shoot some pic's of the hook up and check out how I brought that wire up and thru. I don't think I punctured the flex gromet. It was a few years ago I installed it.
I'll post somethin tomorrow,

The wire is tapped down which is a temp install which I will redo this summer.
I plan on coming up with a much neater install when the weather gets warmer. This was just a fast test install which is why I used tape to hold the wire. It started to get to cold during the install. So I decided to wait till this coming summer. I missed doing it last year do to some other projects. SO you only have to drill a Small hole thru the metal shell to get to the outside to pass the wire thru.
The other wire shown is the Rear Dash Cam for the idiots behind me. That wire is tied to an ignition power source when the rig is started. I don't remember where I tided into that..

On my 2003 I fished the wires through the factory rubber thing.... I did have the headliner out at the time though so that did make it easier. I cannot remember if I detached the rubber boot or not but pretty sure I just poked a coat hanger through first then taped the camera wired to the hangar to pull them through it. I mounted my camera on the inside of the hatch with VHB tape to the upper trim (license plate style camera) since I wanted it up high and to stay clean and last forever. Works great and with the angle can still see the hitch (when one is on).
