E-Lock to Tailgate

Ok everyone, I'm adding an e-lock to my tailgate. I want to run the lock/unlock so that it will open with my pass/rear doors on keyless entry. I know that the lock is pink w/ black, and the unlock is pink w/ orange from searching on these forums. I'm just trying to figure out the best place to run it to, and where i can find these two wires the easiest. I'll post pics when I'm done...

I hooked my e-lock on the tailgate to those exact wires under the plastic sill plate on the drivers side rear door (SCrew). Extremely easy to access and find the wires in the loom there. Also there is pre drilled holes (drains?) to put a grommet in and get thru the floorpan.
One of the best mods IMO.

haha thanks, yeah it was pretty easy. the hardest part was getting that darn actuator to open/close the latch. i ended up doing a little snooping around and found the wires before i got back on here. i ran up through the rubber grommet and under the rear plastic sill plate then up to the front one, where i made the connections on the passenger side. you can't see any wires and i have the ability to disconnect them if i really need to. works like a charm!
