What happens here

Raise the tailgate to a horizontal position. Take the free end of the new cable and align it with the attachment point on the tailgate. Lift the small retaining tab, similar to how the old cable was removed, and slide the cable's end into the housing. Ensure the tab locks back into place securely, holding the cable firmly.

Goal: Reattach the other end of the new cable to the tailgate latch mechanism by lifting the tab and sliding the cable into place.
