OK,I want to do a complete backhalf remote locking mod on my avalanche.Something like to Rod's Mod i have seen on the forum.So i went ahead with a possible wiring diagram, all the possible things to tie into the bed/tailgate area of the Avalanche.I post the diagram below.What do you all think.Any input on the schematic would be appreciated.

Not sure how I missed this one..  Lokks like it is drawn out VERY well..
 
Well,i think i've found a the perfect contact block pins for this mod.the contact pins/block are all stainless steel,adjustable,and priced at $44.95 for the 7 contact kit.think its a good price?

Well.I think i have solved all of the wiring problems on how to tie in all of the actuators for the saddlebags and the tailgate.Plus i have added 2 power accessory lines for puddle lights,LEDs,etc. for the saddlebags.below are the schematics of the design i have come up with.Each saddlebag and the tailgate line will have their own harness for the lock/unlock pulse,ground lines,and a 12v+ for the saddlebags.And all the wiring will have its own junction box where everything is tied into.

And the good news is...it uses a part that is already on the GM truck line and is available at most junkyards.At least from the 2003-06 models.Let me know what u all think of this design.
