here is where I taped incase this was a bad idea. I am trying to avoid pulling the side covers off as I have several wires under there already and it’s a long way to the tailgate.

Nice find!From the wiring diagram here - https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/JL-Wiring-Diagrams/SWINGGATE---LOCK-SYSTEM.pdf - it looks like the green/white is going to the lock solenoid, so it only has momentary power. Test Pin 4 (violet/orange) - it seems like it should have 12v all the time, and the other side of that circuit goes to a ground.

I just spliced into the old license plate wires, I had no issues with that.Having the same issue with power for the license plate light hooked up and no go
Can anyone on here confirm that the violet/orange splice successfully powered their AAL Versatable LED?From the wiring diagram here - https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/JL-Wiring-Diagrams/SWINGGATE---LOCK-SYSTEM.pdf - it looks like the green/white is going to the lock solenoid, so it only has momentary power.

i wired it back to the cigarette lighter before I saw the reply. If you have a volt meter you can check it before you splice in. Another option is the done light, but seemed like a long way to me.Can anyone on here confirm that the violet/orange splice successfully powered their AAL Versatable LED?
Finally got around to testing it...no juice. That said, I found an equally simple solution. The scissor jack has a plug under it that exits right next to the wiring harness for the tow sockets. There is an always-on wire in there and it looks like I can tack the small gauge table led wire to the socket end without having to cut anything. I don’t tow that often but I’m even more glad I got that package now!From the wiring diagram here - https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/JL-Wiring-Diagrams/SWINGGATE---LOCK-SYSTEM.pdf - it looks like the green/white is going to the lock solenoid, so it only has momentary power.

Yea that’s why I didn’t want to use the outlet...I’ve removed well over half of the trim pieces in my rig for various mods and the tabs eventually break in all of them.I wired mine to the 12v cig outlet in the back too. Only annoying thing about it was removing the plastic trim to get to the wires. I've removed that trim several times and now it doesn't fully connect anymore loll
I am In the same boat. Now I have so much wiring and compressor lines, it will never go perfect again. At least I can’t hear it rattle.Yea that’s why I didn’t want to use the outlet...I’ve removed well over half of the trim pieces in my rig for various mods and the tabs eventually break in all of them.
