Bedlocker switch

Got bored today so I finally decided to install my switch for my Pace Edwards bedlocker, the remote control is kind of a pain in the butt so I ponied up the 45 dollars for the PE switch kit (which is crazy) but the final product is easy to use and I think the install looks fairly clean. Let me know what you think.

Looks pretty good, but couldn't you have just tied it into the door locks? Doors locked = cargo locked. Doors unlocked = cargo unlocked?

Thats what I did on mine, got a door lock actuator on e bay for $6 and some wire and hardware at Lowes for another cpl bucks. Tapped into the door lock wire under the sill plate, ran wire thru the frame and was done. Total cost was $8.17.

I guess that may have worked, but I think we are talking two seperate things, I am running my electric rollup cover with this switch, are you talking about the tailgate lock? Even so, the door lock switch may have worked.
