This is is a two -for-one video today. We install a Battery Isolator & Tailgate Straps are replaced in our [Dodge](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ram_pickup) pickup truck. The Battery Isolator is installed in an old [Hyundai Tucson](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyundai_Tucson).

Battery Isolator:

First we install the Battery Isolator. I found model number RL-240A-RC ASIN number B0CF44X2BP on Amazon. It is called a Joinfworld Kill Switch in the ad. Because it has a latching relay, meaning the relay only draws power when it’s switching states so, when sitting a long time that means it won’t draw (much) power from the battery. It should also have the minimum amperage rating that should work well with a small engine displacement car. As a result this installation went well albeit the instructions were a bit weird. I really think you seeing me install this is much better instructions that came in the package.

Tailgate Straps:

We then install the tailgate straps. The Lift Gate Support Straps on my 1996 Dodge pickup were almost broken and needed replacement. I found these model A1-55345124AB Rear Tailgate Cables from Mifyca as an aftermarket replacement on Amazon and they fit perfectly.
I suggest buying in pairs as they may not be exactly the same size as the ones already on the vehicle. This kit comes as a pair so install both. As a result you will find 2 parts in the kit and the two parts are similar, but different. I use these in the video to go over the difference in the video and show a couple of mistakes that happened while I was installing them. (Yes, it looks like I did these on purpose, but I just ffffd up is all.)

Replaces Part Number:

• 55345124AB, 55345125AB, 38522, 38535

Fits the Following Models:

• 1994-2001 Ram 1500 Pickup Truck and
• 1994-2001 Ram 2500 Pickup Truck and
• 2002 Ram 2500 Pickup Truck (Old Body Style Only) and
• 1994-2001Ram 3500 Pickup Truck and
• 2002 Ram 3500 Pickup Truck (Old Body Style Only)
