So I was trying to get the tailgate on my 79 bronco to work with the key, the dash switch work fine. I cleaned the connections on the terminals a little bit and nothing happened, I probed for power but there was nothing at either post or the part the flips, any ideas?

Have you considered buying a softopper? They're a blast to drive around with and eliminate the need for a working tailgate window. I've been really happy with mine and don't miss the rear window troubles at all.

what did you finally do?

mine has no safety swtich, so I connected the 2 cables and yes its correct to have +12v all the time at the black white, otherwise you would have to turn ignition on all the time to use the key to lower/raise the back window - making no sense if you are at a shop and want to put all your bought stuff in the rear.
