TAILGATE WIRING HARNESS ROUTING.

- WE HAVE GIVEN WITH A STP FILE OF TAILGATE , WHICH IS DOWNLOADED AND OPENED IN CATIA V5.

- FIRST SAVE IT AS A PART FILE IN A SPECIFIC FOLDER.

- AFTER THAT CONTEXT ASSEMBLY IS CREATED FOR THE WIRING HARNESS OF TAILGATE.

- ADDED A NEW COMPONENT AS PART FILE OF TAILGATE MODEL I SAVED EARLIER.

- THAN CREATED A NEW PRODUCT AS TAILGATE_WH_GEOMETRICAL_BUNDLE.

SELECTING & DEFINING THE CONNECTORS & OTHER SUPPORT PARTS.

- HERE IN THIS TAILGATE WH ROUTING WE ARE ONLY CONSIDERING FOR TAILIGHT & FOR THE NUMBER PLATE LIGHT.

- SO IN THE GIVEN BACKDOOR WE WILL BE HAVING 1 INTERCONNECTOR , WHICH WILL THE MAIN CONNECTOR FOR THE MAIN BRANCH.

- APART FROM THIS WE WILL HAVE 2 LIGHT CONNECTORS FOR TAILIGHT HOUSING.

- AND 2 MORE LIGHT CONNECTORS FOR THE NUMBER PLATE LIGHT.
