Tailgate wire harness

[madesicc88]

I'm looking to replace the wire harness that's inside the tailgate. I was wondering if there was a big connection behind the access plate that is easy to just unplug and pull the whole plate off basically. I am trying to keep from just having to splice a new plug that plugs into into the orange window relay/keyless entry box.
Would much rather just replace that whole piece of harness as a whole. I am planning on going to a parts yard and pulling it tomorrow when I get off work but don't have time to pull my tailgate apart to check myself. Thanks so much.
Does anyone know where I can find a diagram of the plug that goes into that orange box as well?

There's one harness in the hatch. It plugs in above the headliner on the driver side and runs to all the plugs in the hatch. Wiper, window motor, licence plate lights, key hole, lock, etc. Make sure you get one from a compatible year. Early year harnesses are different than later years, not sure what years they switched though.

Thanks so much, after looking through a ton of threads about the rear window not working , It sounded more and more like removing that harness is a huge pain. There is a 99 listed for parts in my area. I think I'll go get the orange box and cut the plug off too as just splice.

Thanks again.
