Tailgate limit switch

[Loren]

Does anyone have a picture of a 63-64 Falcon tailgate limit switch that is installed. When I bought my wagon it didn't have one and I would like to be sure to mount it correctly. Thanks.

Is it part of an electrical assembly.
Im fairly sure ny hand crancked tailgate does not have one.

Yes. It is a switch on the tailgate jam with an arm on it, and it prevents you from opening the tailgate with the glass up.

I don't have a picture handy, but I've worked on them. The switch is low on the body-side of the tailgate opening (passenger side). The arm goes north and bends east to make a lever so basically it hits the edge of the tailgate as it is closing to close the switch. You tweak the arm, as needed, to make sure the switch is open when the gate is open and closed only when the gate is fully latched.

But danged if I didn't stumble upon one.
